End Pin Options for EUB Build???

I have the exact same drum hardware as Radii on my EUB. Here is basically what you need:

These are only intended as examples, your best bet is to just go to your local music shop and mess around with parts until you find a setup you like. At 6' 5" you may need something taller than the parts I've shown too. Keep in mind that the tom mount is radiused like the side of a tom, so you'll have to get creative when it comes to attaching it to a flat surface.

I would advise against a simple endpin since without the large body of the bass to rest against your body there is nothing holding the entire instrument but your fretting hand. It is almost impossible to play this way.

 

I'm looking for this:

Except smaller. Maybe a 1/2 inch tube or so. I would like to mount it on the bottom of my EUB

Does anybody know of a clamp that will work?

Also does anybody know what kind of clamp is being used in the attached picture?

That may be plan B. Thanks.

 

This clamp would be very easy to make out of wood. It is essentially 2 blocks of wood both have been drilled w/a drill bit the same diameter of the post - each block is one half (a radius) of the post. The blocks have 2 bolts that connect them, one on each side of the hole which allows the pole to slide between the blocks. Tightening one bolt will clamp the post and hold it where you want it. I could get more detailed about specs - it is hard to describe and is better understood visually perhaps

Im having the same dilema on my build,although i have a large channel inside the body to hold an endpin rod if necessary, which will keep everything neetly tucked away. There is another compromise of course (which is quite attractive) ... a very small chair.........

 

the end Pin is one problem that I got to solve, in my design I being thinking of buying an carbonfiber pin, but i dont know how is going to be install in my bass?

Any Ideas?

 

Hey, just logged on after a long absence and saw a poic of my bass! (part of it, anyway).
I guess by now you've long ago solved the endpin problem, but for the record, here's what I did:


The clamp came from the local bicycle store - the kind used for bike seat-post adjustment. I fabricated a couple of pieces of wood, lined with cork gasket material - works nicely. Note that there's a piece of aluminium bar across the top (under the clamp lever) for reinforcement so I don't split the wood if it's too tight. The actual end pin is the centre rod from a mic stand.
