What strap is good for B-bending?

I just got a Telecaster Nashville B-Bender and my old strap broke in the first session. Obviously there are more demands on a strap for this sort of thing in terms on comfort,strength and adjustability. I was wondering which strap you guys recommend.

A wide (2 to 3 inches) soft leather strap works great. The strap should not have a slick surface in contact with your shoulder otherwise it will slip all over. Levi's and Franklin make good straps that fit the bill for a b bender.

I was watching one of my B bender instructional videos.
The guy said the same thing. Avoid the smooth & slick straps.
I have a leather with a felt design.
I can play my bender standing or sitting.

I use always levy's stap padded leather pm or mss series. They feel and played very fine

i got one custom made by a good buddy of mine.. hes on here alot too...(wvmatt.)..one hell of leather craftsman. the strap is like wearing nothing at all..its that comfortable! - he made Brad Pasileys "Brad" strap as well as several others for him and for other big name stars as well - he even does leather covers and pickguards too

A wide (2 to 3 inches) soft leather strap works great.

Is there anything else?! Seriously, other than for mandolins, I can't imagine using anything other than a 3" wide leather strap with stringed instruments. Anything else is uncomfortable or problematic. At least for me.

Thanks for all those suggestions. So far I'm most happy with this Planet Wave Bass Strap (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Planet-Waves-Polypropelyne-Strap-for-Bass?sku=365211). It's 3 in. wide, nylon mesh that doesn't slip on the shoulder, padded inside with some kind of firm neoprene type material. Only $20.

i agree with the 3" wide, minimum 2 1/2", leather and a non-slick surface against the shoulder....i make my own straps out of stuff from Tandy Leather Supply, do lacing around the sides, add conchos, etc.....have made quite a few of them....never sold one to anyone but i figger about $35-40 dollars in materials alone for the fanciest one i ever made...they are completely hand made and no two alike....they ain't El Dorado machine/stamped tooled style....but for me, since i start from just a piece of leather and go where my twisted mind may take me at the time with the design, they have a little more "personality"...plus, it gives me sumthin' to do for a week or so....just about time to do another one......

I have not seen one like mine in years. It's 3 1/4" wide, has the usual adjustable leather slots/strap on one end and a leather part about 6" long at the upper-strap peg end, but the rest is a heavy woven black cotton. It does not slip at all and is FAR more comfortable than even the softest leather straps. It has "Silver Eagle" embossed on the leather, and no designs of any kind. I'd love to find a source for them; I've had this one at least 20 years.

I have one of these and it works really well

It was a bit long so I cut some extra adjustment slots into it and now is perfect.

I find the wider straps are more comfortable, especially since a B-Bender is generally heavier than a normal tele, the wider strap distributes the weight over your shoulder so it's easier and more comfortable ;)

I also have a planet waves bass strap and another one from a German on-line store that does the trick ;)

About .5" wide, with felt backed pad on both the Glaser and Parsons guitars. I've had my main one since 1994; the padding long ago wore off. Much easier to manage than the wider ones. I also have a Gene Parsons "Stringbender" strap for historical reasons.
