Replacement Mosrite Bass Case Handle?
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2022 8:01 pm
Hello--
I have a late '64/early '65 Mosrite bass with the original brown alligator tolex case. The handle has been missing for @30 years, and I'm considering one of those leather handles with the straps that wrap around the existing original in-line brackets on the case. Does anyone have experience with these handles? Are they intended for heavy-duty bass applications? My fear, of course, is that I will be carrying the bass and the leather straps will rip at an inopportune moment. For some irrational reason I'm apprehensive to bring the case to a luggage repair store and have them replace the brackets altogether and install the correct original-style handle. All suggestions/advice welcome. Thanks!
