Bigger Strap Button needed

Rocker

My Aria bass has standard sized strap buttons fitted. The neck end button is a bit on the small size, anyone know where I could get a larger button (chrome)? I am using Fender rubber strap retainers but with a heavy strap the assembly looks a big ungainly. Thanks

Use a Fender headstock string retainer.

PRS use them as strap buttons. Just don't buy PRS branded ones as they are a rip off.

Thanks @fretmeister

Amazon have them

At moments like this I feel really frustrated.  So near and yet so far.

Thanks for the link @fretmeister but it has no checkout or proceed button or link.  So I can't go any further other than admiring the things on screen.  I do have a Parcel Motel address in Northern Ireland (which overcomes the fact that a lot of companies will not post or sell to customers in the Republic of Ireland) but the software will not permit me to proceed any further than looking at pictures of the items.

I found similar things on the Thomann site, priced around €8 each plus €15 post & packing.  Seems expensive especially the post charges.

As I said, frustrating.

Another option, if you never take the strap off, is to use a screw and a washer. Effectively screwing the strap to the bass.

Or a Dimarzio cliplock strap http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/DiMarzio-ClipLock-3-Wide-Nylon-Quick-Release-Black-Guitar-Strap/1C39?origin=product-ads&gclid=CNe-9P7KwtICFeQK0wodhS0HlQ

They work very well. Depends if you are happy with a simple black nylon strap or prefer something padded.

Does this seller post to Ireland?

Thanks for the link @ICBM but it seems to be similar to the link that @fretmeister posted.  No checkout or buy option.  Not sure why they bother listing product if nobody can buy it.  I will talk to the bricks and mortar shops in Dublin, they might have one in stock somewhere.
