Straps

Ok, I have a stupid question. Most guitars I have ever seen (just started after 15 years only 3 (or so) weeks ago) have a knob for the strap on each end of the body. Well, my new Alvarez has no such knob up near the neck. What the heck kind of strap do I use with this thing and why does it not have the knob? Sound reaons, etc?

Please post a link to a picture of the examples you might post. I'm lost on this one. Man, things sure change fast after a decade or so. hahaha

If your reffering to an acoustic, which I'm gonna assume, you would need an acoustic strap. You put one side on the strap knob and the other you tie around the headstock like so:

Thanks a bunch!

What kind of strings are on that bass in the pic? I've never seen anything like that....they look like clear rubber.

Nylon string bass?

yeah my friend played a nylon string bass. it was black nylon tho.

i didnt like the tone.

I typed in acoustic strap on ebay and that was on page 2. Its the only pic that had the close up, you should take a gander at it, its one crazy bass. The body is like 5" long.

sorta like a thump sound. some people like it, i for one dont. i like a very clear round bass tone.

Doesn't DR make strings that are different colors? I think it's DR. Has anyone ever tried those?
