    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
  8. sblueplanet
    Fair enough.

    @blablas Do you have any sound samples of each of the basses you have built?

    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!
  17. 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.

    Remove the strings and unscrew the neck plate. Remove the neck to see if there are any markings on either neck join or body cavity to help identify but I doubt there will be. Best is to search ebay UK + US as well as google image search for 'Jackson bass'. If you see a matching one, the webpage its on may hold the info you require.

    Excellent job blablas. Let us know if you ever decide to start making custom pickguards for fellow lefties.
  23. sblueplanet
    I bet Seasick Steve snaps this up!

    Patience young Paduan. A buyer will reveal themselves soon enough. In the meantime, I'm enjoying those pics before this thread is locked once sold :-)
