Description
In the usual, slightly backward tilted position of the bass with a straight endpin , a large part of the weight usually rests on the thumb of the left frying hand. Due to the bent endpin , the center of gravity moves forward; the thumb is relieved, although the instrument is held tilted much more backwards. Due to this rather cello-typical playing position, the sound radiates differently than in the conventional, more vertical position.
Rob Anzelotti has introduced a new design that is particularly easy to install: the RobPin. The most important feature is the “Bottom Block Rest”, which absorbs the weight of the bass and thus relieves the prickly bulb and the lower block. Once adjusted to the right size, the RobPin is only inserted into the existing bulb instead of the conventional spike and screwed in. The “bottom block rest” and the weight of the bass prevent the RobPin from spinning unintentionally while playing.
For individual adjustment of the height, bar sections of different lengths are available. The angle of the spike can be adjusted to 25°, 35°, or 45°. The RobPin is suitable for all spiked bulbs with a rod diameter of 10 mm; adapters are available for different diameters.
