Of course, if it does bother you, you can just have your luthier plug the hole, which is not all that hard, as is my understanding.

Just look at Matthew's thread about restoring that old French bass. If they can do that, plugging a nicely drilled hole is a jiff.

Reach down and feel the air pushing thru either of the holes when not plugged. I had a bass come in and when I plugged the angled hole, it was much louder then when it was down firing the air out of the bass.
