Massive Quality.
When i got a new, beautiful handmade bass with natural finish, i needed a strap that went well with that, so i decided on the Minotaur.
I could get a good picture of the quality of this strap even before putting it on my bass. The bass i bought it for is rather heavy and well balanced. It has Schaller Security locks, so when i took the strap out of the parcel i tried to fit the Schallers, but the holes in the strap were just a tiny bit too small. I had to work real hard with a sharp knife to widen them some and even then it was tough, hard work to get the locks to fit. Apart from the really decent looks (the pictures do this beautiful strap no justice) it is quite thick and soft. The inside is very smooth, so it tends to slide around on the shoulder - which is very well with a well balanced instrument and not so well if the head is too heavy.
I'm 100% satisfied and would buy this again.

This thing is FAT
Always having used random, mediocre straps for my basses and guitars, this is a massive upgrade. The strap is REALLY wide, which helps spread out the weight of your instrument over a larger area. The padding feels good, and it all feels and looks very sturdy.
Honestly, with backpain of heavy instruments in mind, I'd love to see some sort of dual-band version as well.

This is a great belt. Comfortable for playing with my heavy boat-anker of a guitar. It will last for years. Only the holes are to small for strap locks.
You can get them in, but you will have to work for it.

Excellent and cheap
This is not made in china it's made in Greece.
I did not expect this strap to be that comfortable, You can feel a good layer of foam or whatever it is inside. It recovers all my shoulder which brings me good stability and the weight of my guitar is well balanced.
I will order again this strap for all my guitars.

Very high quality bass strap for a low price
if you take a 5-string or more bass, then this belt is obligatory for purchase, otherwise your spine after an hour with a regular guitar strap will be in your underpants.
Not suitable for those who like to have bass right under their chin.
In my opinion, the height at which the bass hangs is very comfortable and no higher is needed.
Best of all, similar bass straps cost three times as much at local music stores.

Still Holding up
Have been using this strap for regular gigging with a normal weight Ibanez Bass. The good thing is that there's plenty of padding and it's really wide so I've never felt any neck or back pain.
The stitching is great and it's put up for a year already and still looks completely new. I don't trash my equipment, but it's put up with no issues so far.

Double No Trouble
I Am Using this Strap for The Excellent Harley-Benton DC Custom 612 Double Neck , so I really needed a robust comfortable strap . I also suffer from shoulder problem but the width and padding mean that I can play this monster very easily .It looks fantastic too !!

If not THE best, definitely one of the greatest
I don't even know where to begin with this one. It's just great. It's really great. It's comfortable, adjustable, stylish, and most importantly very affordable.
I've used MANY straps before, and for the price, this one is THE BEST on my book.
Pros:
Everything
Cons:
Nothing

Great but...
Really nice strap which replaced a thinner strap I had. Unfortunately, after 5 months, the edging has worn and broken and now scratches my neck when playing. I think it's happened if when the strap folds over in the guitar bag. Shame, cos it's a really nice looking strap! Very comfy (except for the scratchy broken edging) and spreads the weight of a heavy J bass across my shoulder.
