I already made a post asking about a lefty thread and got no replies. There should at least be a lefty thread for general discussion. Ive given up hope.

The Barras might be a good place to check out. Those evil pawn shops like Cash Converters take stolen stuff all the time. If taken to a store in Glasgow they prob wont sell it there but some other town branch. Good luck in getting them back.

I have owned a '78 Fender Musicmaster and a '68 Gibson EBO. The Fender was a piece of crap and I fitted a Seymour Duncan replacement pickup to make it acceptable. I only used it in a covers band. Didnt think it good enough for anything else. On the other hand I loved the EBO and wish I still had it but lack of funds meant I needed to sell at the time to get a decent all-rounder. The EBO was pure bottom end and very muddy which meant a change in playing style to articulate the notes but the short scale was great. In fact, now I have some spare dosh burning a hole Ive been eyeing up the modern SG bass. Like others here, I dont have a problem switching between a bass like this and say, my 34" scale Warwick Thumb.

Jaco had become more of a conposer and bandleader than just a bassplayer and he was composing on bass using different tunings so I could have easily seen him move on to 5+6 string basses. He was using Hartke cabs and Guild basses too. He would have eventually retired his famous jazzes.

As long as the headstock shape is same as a real P bass then for "looks" why not. I had a P bass copy and fitted a Fender decal and it really looked the biz, exactly like my real P bass decal. I never tried to fool anyone it was the real deal if they asked me though. Go for it.

Now that the Big Market Thread For Lefties has been closed because of new subscription rules there should begin a new lefty thread created for general discussion of all matters related to being left handed, from lack of models made by manufacturers, new instrument reviews, to high profile lefty players etc. This thread can also help direct people to instruments available elsewhere on the site and discussion of gear seen and heard across the web. What does everyone think?
