Great strap for the price
As of writing this review, I've had this strap for about 2 days.
The width and padding are just spot on, my bass feels about half its weight and really well balanced when I play standing up.
The finish is also great! No stitches sticking out, the leather is perfectly cut and it has a great stiffness/flexibility ratio.
However, the only reasons I don't give it 5 stars on quality are because the holes are cut a bit too small, I had to completely unscrew the strap pins to put the strap on; and in my opinion, there is too much strap leftover.
But still, the tightness of the holes paired with the stiffness of the leather may come as a good thing, as make this makes it able to get away with not having strap blocks (to some degree). Though I may buy taller and locking pins in the future just for peace of mind, and to shorten the tail of the strap by looping it back onto the pin.
But TLDR, it's a great strap. Super comfortable, really well built and a great price/quality ratio. Great as an upgrade, replacement, spare, etc.

Perfect
I suffer with arthritis in my shoulders, and playing a heavy guitar for more than a few minutes causes me pain. No longer! The width (more than 4 inches) spreads the load over my shoulder. It is well padded and made of strong thick leather which will last for years. A quality product.

Comfortable sober strap for my Junior DC
A quality strap with sober black design for my Junior DC. A bit difficult to put my Loxx strap locks on, but after that solid and perfect look and feel. Somewhat stiffy for now, but will surely approve in time and after some heavy usage. The ideal length could be time-consuming. And on the stative could be not so practical. When playing giving ultimate support and comfort.

Excellent strap. I am going to use it with Sire V7 5-string bass. It is really long; I am 1.85 m but the shortest setting on a strap is just right. Let me see how reliable it is.

Comfort and quality at a smoking hot price!
I would like to recommend this strap for every bass player with a passion to play and has larger shoulders. This the most comfortable strap I have ever used while playing bass in 50 years. My bass is on the heavier side and my pride and joy. I needed a strap that fitted me and dispersed the weight evenly on large shoulders. This strap fit my requirements exactly and exceeded my expectations. I play my bass for hours at a time and can say that weight fatigue is zero now.

Saves an old man's back
Bought this strap after looking at others in my local music shop. It arrived promptly and I was able to try it out at a band rehearsal on my Marcus Miller Bass, also purchased from Thomann. It immediately felt comfortable and I was able to stand and play on and off for about three hours without any back or shoulder ache. At first it looks huge but you soon get used to it..

Pretty Good
I play 5-string bass and needed a thick strap. The strap is well-made but I would prefer a bit more padding. Overall quite good.

Giant Strap
Because my Ibanez ATK-200 weighs a ton, I felt the need of a large and broad strap. The Minotaur Bass Strap had a good price tag so I tried that out.
Applying the strap was not too easy as the leather was fairly stiff; especially at the holes. But once it was installed it felt very safe and stable. Definitely no need for strap-locks if your pins are big enough! The strap itself was quite stiff too at the beginning so it took a while for me to get used to it. My bandmates kind off laughed at me when i introduced it at our rehearsal ("That is one giant strap") - it looks a little uncommon to be honest, as a huge piece of leather is hiding your shoulder. But i found the broad and quite thick strap quite useful for longer jam sessions. The weight of the bass is divided over your body equally and I'm exhausted not as soon as with the small no-name strap I had before.
The strap is very long; I as a quite tall person (1,89m) can't use the full range of it. All in all I can recommend the strap to anybody with a heavy bass or guitar!
