End-pin Location
Just curious, where should the end-pin be located with a bass of a bottom rib depth of 9.25"?
Thanks |

Hey, brain scanner.. that was my answer.. Only, I didn't think he was THAT far off or confused.. So.. I didn't actually Post it..
I would say to lower you endpin to the floor (all the way in) and sit down with the bass. Then angle the bass as you sit.. On a Stool (not a chair) until the Back edge touches the floor. On a bass with deep ribs, I would think further towards the Back away from center (but not much) would be best. A Viennese Tailwire plug might be good for this bass with the endpin free standing (or sitting actually). Pollmann does that and I think it's so cool.. I can go measure my Panormo school bass and see where that endpin is placed. It's as wide as your Bass on the Ribs alone. With the Top and back added, it's even wider. Hey Calvin, you didn't measure this 9 1/4" WITH the Top and Back included did you? That's a No No! Rib depth are Ribs only. Overall depth includes the plates. |

position..

The Hart is about an inch less in depth than your bass and the Panormo and the endpin socked centered as well. This bass has the carbon fiber unit and is less than 3" out from the edge of the back all the way in. No problemo here. It's all about the angle. I would think with the sloped shoulders of your bass you wouldn't need so much angle to play. The bass bow is heavy enough as it is. What hold it up at such an angle? I am even using my lighter and shorter bazin Bow at the moment. Such comfort it is. You need to make a trip south to see both Arnold and myself. Too much talk back and forth about problems and concerns you should noy have. Time is better spent on playing I think. |

no worries about the viennese wire plug on the same grain as the endpin weakening the lower block?

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? |
