An update on the seat strap issue:
It was supposed to be ready this past weekend, but when we went to pick it up, the hook had been installed with the open end (the "bowl" of the hook) facing off the short end of the strap.
Three days later, all is well. Instead of stitching the neckstrap hook in place, the leather tailor elected to use a flat stud riveted through the top and bottom layers. Much more practical and more permanent too.
Once placed on the seat, the "sueded" layer on the bottom grabs the seat just so, while the upper layer is smooth enough to allow you to shift around on the seat without displacing it beneath your bottom. Sweet.
I took the other neckstrap hook (one of two from the Selmer chain neck strap that came with my pro bass oh so many years ago), and dropped it off for a second one to be made for the boy. And, next week we will take my lovely wife's leather dress into them for modifications (she's lost a lot of weight over the past year), and get that fixed as well.
