mcnach Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) 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?

mcnach Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 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.
