or “Why I always fit strap locks to my guitars”

I’ve never done anything quite as spectacular as this but in the early days I did have a strap part company with a bass I was playing mid-song. Fortunately I was quick enough to be able to trap the bass between my right elbow and body so was able to (rather awkwardly) finish the song.

These days I ALWAYS fit Schaller Straplocks to my guitars – whether or not that would have helped the poor guy in the video above I couldn’t say…
