Holiday Cheer Touchstyle Club -- Save Big!

Support Systems for your Megatar

  • The MegStrap
    Our patented new design for a special 'Guitar Strap' has all the convenience of the usual guitar strap, including a shoulder pad to increase your comfort while playing. But as the drawing reveals, we've added a new feature.

    The cord attachment from the shoulder pad to the head of the bass keeps the shoulder pad self-centered so it won't slide off your shoulder, and at the same time the attachment keeps the head of the bass positioned high for perfect two-handed touch-style play.

    You'll appreciate how easy it is to put it on and take it off. While your instrument is sitting in its stand (or lying in its case), the strap is already open. Just slip it over your head and -- bam! -- instant correct positioning.

    Won't muss your clothing or costume, either!

  • The MegSlider
    If you are a man of average height, most likely the MegStrap will be extremely comfortable. But if you are smaller of stature, if you've had any back problems, or if you get tired by the end of the gig, the 'Slider' strap is a convenientway to distribute more of the weight to enhance your comfort. Our friends at the Slider Strap Company have provided us with some of their patented 'dual-shoulder' straps, onto which we have grafted our MegStrap's shoulder pad and instrument attachment.

    A typical Mobius bass weighs about 9 pounds. By using the clever MegSlider strap, only half that weight rides on each of your shoulders. The result? The whole things feels lighter!

    The detail picture here shows how the slider strap fits your body. (Note: Shoulder pad attachment is not showing in this picture but is included in the MegSlider which we send to you.)

  • The MegHook
    Lots of us tappers like the convenience of a belthook. For the first time, you'll discover how useful to have a removable belthook. Just attach the belthook to the rear of your megatar instrument, and then slip the wide hook portion over your belt to support your instrument from the belt.

    You can use the belthook all by itself as long as you keep your two hands on the instrument's neck (to prevent it tipping to the side), OR you can use the belthook in combination with the MegStrap.
    Using the belthook in combination with the MegStrap will eliminate any lateral (side to side) motion of the instrument if you get to dancing on stage, and of course the instrument's weight on your shoulder is further reduced, because the strap bears part and the belthook bears part.

    The main objection to a belthook is when you need to play while seated, because the belthook holds the instrument close to your torso. When you attempt to sit on most chairs, the body of the instrument will then interfere with the chair! Not comfortable!

    And that's when you'll fully appreciate the convenience of a removable belthook!

  • The MegBar
    Like to play seated? Then you'll appreciate the Mobius MegBar. We got this idea back in 1994 in a conversation with tapper Bob Culbertson, who was then performing regularly in Northern California using this idea.
    One day, Bob reports, he got the brainstorm of attaching a stick crossways to the body of his instrument, so that the stickcould rest on his thighs while he was seated. Voila! The first known lap -bar.
    The MegBar is a variation of this idea, an updated form-fitted design, made to comfortably rest on your thighs while reading or performing seated, and is normally supplied with a black, non-slip finish.
    The MegBar is completely removable, and can be used either alone or in combination with the MegStrap. If you stand up to play (using the MegStrap for support), the MegBar can remain attached without interfering with your standing performance, and yet it's still at the ready for seated play.
    It's a simple idea, but a great one.
