Playing Pizz on Fingerboard with bevel?

I was curious to see if there any pizz players out there using a fingerboard with a bevel?

I am left handed and never have had the chance to play a lefty bass with a bevel.

I was wondering how the bevel might affect your playing?

When I play rentals on the road, or a student's bass with the bevel, I don't even notice it. YMMV.

I've only played a few basses with a bevel and found it rather comfortable. I actually think it makes pizz on the E string easier because you're able to pull the string down (more towards your body) which, to me, feels natural.

I just went from a CCB laminated bass without bevel to a fully carved bass with a bevel and I don't even notice the difference with respect to the bevel. I sure do notice a difference between laminated bass and fully carved. But that's it!
