@ead according to FB and Instagram Alan's instruments have arrived safe and sound

Be sure to check out the Dingwall booth (#3044), and give the new lefty NG-2 a try!

@LeftyJ I did try the bass, but I'm afraid I soon realised that it's not a good choice for me. My tiny right hand felt really uncomfortable on the lowest frets - which are the ones I prefer to use, especially on a 5er. The 37 inch scale on the low B was not a problem, and it sounded majestic, but the fanned frets on the other strings were just too much hard work. The string spacing on that particular bass was wider than I'm used to, and the position of the pickup, slanted and much closer to the bridge than to the neck, felt weird when I placed my left thumb on it. I'll write a slightly more detailed review in my forthcoming blog, and will keep an eye on any other lefty models Sheldon may start producing, but for the moment I'll go back to my Warwicks. Pity
