Double Bass 40mm Endpin Plug?

[Eric Hochberg]

Anyone know if one is available?

Not offhand. Anyone with a lathe could turn you one but the bigger issue would be a reamer big enough to trim the hole...

I've got a large hole now and my luthier told me I'd need 39-40mm plug.

Hi.

I've got a large hole now and my luthier told me I'd need 39-40mm plug.

Then take the measurements and someone surely will turn You one.

Your Luthier does have a ~2" reamer, does he?

If the hole isn't true, a larger plug won't help much without reaming.

I have about 75+ endpin poplar/maple blanks used to re-do bass endpins. PM me if your interested. Basically, have the endpin hole reamed out and then glue in a blank and start all over new. The blanks range in size so let me know what the large diameter ends up as and I can send you a few to try for fit. They are all standard bass taper.

I hope you can get a PM thorough to me. Sometimes I'm not sure if I have set up my membership correctly.
