Broken handle, replacement for MarkBass CMD121P combo?

[mcnach]

Following reports of another BC member having broken his handle in a few days, I opened mine to realise with horror that mine looks like it's about to break!

The rubber that covers the metal sheet in the handle has broken near the mounting screw, exposing the metal sheet which has been acting like a saw, carving a deep groove on the plastic...

I would like to get a replacement that's more solid (metal anchors, please!), and hopefully a straight replacement (same thread for the mounting screw etc)

Anybody?

I contacted MarkBass, who immediately offered to send me another handle, free of charge. I just got an email confirming it's been posted, with tracking number etc. Can't fault that, they didn't even ask me anything. I guess a handle is not worth the hassle for them.

I would still like to find a more solid handle, as it's bound to happen again, due to the design.

I've got these handles on my 2x12", and the hole spacing measures the same as Fionn posted (I've just measured mine). There might be more comfortable handles out there, but these have been sturdy enough and have pressed steel rather than plastic ends.

So... it isn't just a BF problem then...
