    Ditto to above. A P bass will sound very different through different amps, speakers, processors etc. The best tone I ever achieved was recording straight D.I. into an old valve-driven Neve desk. Never been able to replicate that tone. Some of the sound is also in your hands.

    3 lefty Jap Fenders. 2 J's + a P.

    Maybe time for a spell on ebay?

    That bound neck and lollipop tuners def do it for me :-)

    Only ever had a play on a Schecter guitar. Thought it was very well made with a lot of tonal options.

    A powerful wave of sound coming from a sea foam green box? Gotta call it TSUNAMI

    Gorgeous. Alas, still looking for a lefty one.....:-(

    I play this way. Lefty instruments were scarce and I was happy enough playing on righty basses in the local guitar shops. I kept to small-bodied symmetrical bodies to cut down the obvious problems, eg Hofner 500/1, Gibson EBO, Steinberger... Now play proper lefties but still strung upside down of course.

    Playing at being Sting for 7 years should be enough for anyone.

    If this were a lefty I'd have it off you in a heartbeat!

    Bought a preamp from Pete. Honest and upright bloke. Pleasure to deal with.

    That is sooooooooo cooooooool
  13. sblueplanet
    Fair enough.

    @blablas Do you have any sound samples of each of the basses you have built?
  15. sblueplanet
    That's about how worn my jap jazz was before I had it re-sprayed, ha!

    It was seeing this P on the website that made me enquire after a possible lefty. Sadly no :-(

    I would imagine the bass is the least likely instrument a school would invest in so it's no surprise.

    I like to use the thumb/ finger technique on my precision strung with flats. Helps get the tone Im after. Sting's '54 P has had the electrics and pup replaced and he also uses light gauge DR rounds as he favours a bright tone.

    Cheers people. 25% adds a fair whack to potential costs. I guess it all depends on my GAS levels to whether I commit, haha.

    Has anyone imported a 2nd hand bass from outwith the EU recently? How are import duties worked out and is it straightforward to pay for and collect the instrument?

    Wish this were a lefty!
  22. sblueplanet
    Love it

    Becoming seriously tempted now. However, I couldn't get on with the scale length of my Thumb so moved it on but I've never owned a 5'er.....

    Aww man, wish I was able to craft stuff with my clumsy paws :-(

    [quote name='bigash' timestamp='1409330754' post='2538749'] [size=4][sub]Does anyone know if they do left handers. [/sub][/size] [/quote] I'm afraid not. I already contacted to ask. However, Bravewood guitars will build a lefty relic, although they are more expensive.
