Here's a thread with some beautiful custom bass's

Nice designs, but I don't understand the two strap pins. Is that just to adjust the height of the body to make it easier to reach?
I can see the reasoning for the double necker, but not for the standard single neck style.

I'm with you Zandit as if you used the lower one there is a tendency for the overbalanced top half wanting to fall forward.
I have seen the 2 rear strap buttons on Steinberger and maybe someone might use a leather strap where the thin end has 2 holes and thus helps to hold it better? They are so light weight in comparison to a normal Bass so cannot understand the thinking behind it? I would simply use the strap pin nearest the top?

The two strap buttons make sense on the Steinberger simply so that it stands up when leant against a wall. With just one on the bass side, then it would lean at an angle and most likely keep going and hit the floor at the lightest touch or vibration.
But on that 5-string? It would make sense for the same reason if they stuck out beyond the ends of the rear cut-away, but they don't. Maybe the builder has a bad back, so uses one of the various harness-type straps you can get to spread the load and the two strap buttons are for that? Or maybe they prefer a higher position for the rear strap button and the lower one is purely there for balancing the visuals?
Yet another beautiful guitar from Mark Hatcher from the US. This one Ovangkol B&S's with an Engelman Spruce top. Simply Stunning!!
