The bass’ (and cello’s) endpins usually don’t get glued in – as both the plug and the hole are conical, the endpin gets just plugged into the body. But some endpin plugs are really a challenge to get loose again. The best way I found so far is to use a hammer without handle. I screw the rubber tip off, slide the hammer onto the endpin, and screw on a large washer (as I don’t want to damage the rubber tip). Usually, it takes just two or three blows with the hammer to get the whole endpin assembly out off the bass’ body again.
