Ask the Viennese!! Ask Pollmann how they do with it over time. Ask some Luthiers.. How about that Extra bent endpin hole so many people are adding. Anything different there?

More holes I guess is weaker but other than standing the bass to play (at some angle usually) is there some bouncing the bass on its block going on that might crack it?
