Ladies and Gentlemen

I put this in a new thread, as it is off topic from when I originally mentioned it... But Here it is. The Steinberger Synapse strap hooks have been perpetually out of stock at Music Yo, and the item is expected to arrive in mid March. No time, baby. I could be dead by then. Here's my fake one from a plant hook that my wife donated. It works very well; wish they had a fretless version of this Hohner. I still might take a black sharpie to the screws. The curly hook at the end does a good job of keeping the strap on.

And I think I successfully posted the pics without Alex's help this time.

Peace

We got ourselves a regular MacGyver in our midst \:\)

Excellent job, just findin' a way to git her done.

For our friends in the forum who are not familiar with Angus MacGyver (or Mac, as his friends call him) you can read about the 80's cult hero here:

I've certainly seen 4 string fretless (there's a pic in the thread above, AND I'm SURE I've seen a 5 string Fretless Jack.

I'd take one of those if I could find it.

I already have a Hohner Pro B Bass 5. I'm seriously thinking of finding another and defretting it.

If it gets the job done, it's all good.

'Tis a bit Rococo for my taste, but it certainly does the job nicely.
