There was no adjustment to the new position required, as it relieved my inherent position problems with sitting. It immediately allowed me to improve my playing dramatically, and my bass did sound better once it was drilled. Results vary with the size and shape of you and your bass. Some very tall players do not find it to be an advantage, for example. The angled endpin setup is not new; there is a 16th-century bass here: http://www.khm.at/en/collections/col...l-instruments/ thus equipped.

I don't see any basses in that Link. The biggest I see is 2 Cellos or something that size.
