The little Ernie Ball logo disk at the bottom of the bar fell off making the end uncomfortable. Since it revealed a hole about 1 1/2" deep I decided to fill it with a 1/4-20 SS bolt. The bolt head was ground down, polished and set with Brownell's red epoxy. The epoxy covered the bolt head and formed a smooth, shiny cabochon.
The bar now weighs 8.30 oz which makes it about as dense as a BJS. It is now very comfortable to use, and I could not hear any difference in tone compared to the BJS.

I can just hear the collective fussin', fumin', and stutterin' echoing across the land.
