Tailgut anchored to the rearward plug, huh? That seems like just asking for the block to split between the holes.
It wouldn't be exactly the same, but perhaps it would be interesting to make an endpin unit that could allow the tailgut to be anchored at different points at the bottom of the bass, and then just do some experimenting.
