Topic: Strap Locks

Just thought I'd mention somet bout these, I aint too sure what hardware stores around where you guys / gals live are like but I recently lost a nut off my Schaller Strap lock and I practically cant find a replacement (which puts me in the predicament of having to buy a new set for a gig tonight sad)

Just thought I'd post for anyone considering them to bare in mind replacing the bits might be harder then just sticking a thick rubber gromit over ur old strap pegs (does practically the same job cept no quick release) :x

Re: Strap Locks

If you use 2 strap locks, I've found that the front one is the only one I really need. In a pinch you may be able to get by with just the top one...(unless you do that spin around your neck thing smile )
I never use the back one on any of my straps anymore.

Re: Strap Locks

I'd contact Schaller, if they're cool about it, they could send you some replacements...

Re: Strap Locks

Try the top from a Grolsch beer bottle.....the old rubber stopper type. Not as good as a Schaller but will get you out of a tight spot.
