The geometry on some Selmer basses leaves a lot to be desired - the lever-style touchpiece either with the teardrop-shaped touch or fin-shaped one (like MkVI saxes) attached to the lever is better than the sax-style one hinged on the left, but with some constructive bending it can be positioned and angled better.

Attached photos are of a Series 9 bass as it was when it came in. I didn't manage to get any photos of it after as I dropped my camera and the photos came out all stripy and even more out of focus than normal.
