Features
- For the double bass endpin
In practice
- Two reasons for the rubber: in the case it protects the case bottom from the sharp tip, when playing it protects the floor. Many professional musicians leave it on the tip in the case
- An endpin rubber protects the floor and the tip; as a wearing part it is renewed once it becomes hard or cracked.
- On smooth floors an endpin rest with a socket or an anchor gives additional grip.
Material and mechanics
On the double bass the endpin rubber stands up to the normal wear from pressure and movement for a long time.
The 4S-6146 screw is 12 millimetres long.
Our experience
Our experience: the endpin rubber is needed for two reasons, in the case for the case floor and when playing for the floor itself, which is why many professionals leave it on the tip in the case. The steel tip is razor sharp, and no case withstands it in the long run without a rubber.
When another model suits you better
If you want extra grip on a smooth floor, our ZP-2016 series endpin rests offer a centring magnet and a foam-rubber base.
Frequently asked questions
Why should the rubber stay on the tip in the case?
Because otherwise the sharp steel tip damages the floor of the case.
