If you are simply looking for a bent pin to fit in the conventional type 10mm plug, you can contact George Vance through SLAVA publishing.

http://www.slavapub.net

He can bend a pin for you to your specs. He also sells the Laborie pin that requires installation by a luthier.

There is also the egg pin. It is a variable angle pin. It can be brought from a variety of string shops/suppliers/luthiers/etc.

Lemure music sells the "egg pin". I use this and would highly recommend it over a simple bent pin. The variability of this endpin allows you to fine tune the balance of the instrument until it is just where you want it.

In the few years that I have been surfing Lemur, I can't recall them ever having it in stock.

Cool KC

KC Strings sells an endpin with a egg shaped tip.. Easy to bend and tilt as well without adding any holes to your Bass Block.
