Double Bass What are those endpins that...

[JoeyNaeger]

It's the laborie endpin that is supposed to open the bass up. To be honest, I didn't notice a huge difference, but I kind of think there was one. whatever change occurs, its going to be fairly subtle at best.

I was thinking, why does a bass need a new hole drilled when cellos have a better designed endpin that fits straight into their original endpin hole. My friend, a cellist, just got one and you pull it out, then there's a hinge that makes it slant. Does anyone know why we don't have one of these for bass, or is it just because the way the bass is designed versus the cello?

Here is the message I got from an online music store - check it out!
