Double Bass Bent Endpin

Hey everyone,

So I finally made a bent endpin. I enjoying playing on it, and I get a much better sound than sitting. What I am wondering is what angle people tend to put their "socketed" endpins at? Mine is in the original endpin hole. I have been placing it directly to the left of my bass (from behind it), and the bass falls nicely into my body. I found that this has worked best so far, but does anyone have any other (or better) angles to work with?
