Short-strap
A term of derision for a certain type of rock guitarist (usually a bassist) characterised by their use of a short strap.
They wear their instrument above the waist. You can probably see their belt because they almost certainly have their (black) t-shirt tucked into their (black) jeans.
Their favoured sound is crunchy and bright. Their playing style is technical, proficient and leaves little room for expression.
They may be playing a bass with more than 4 strings, or worse still a Chapman Stick (see wikipedia).
They may also have a pony tail. In fact, they probably do.
