Back in the early 2000s I owned a lefty G&L L2000. Trans red with a natural binding on the top front edge. Maple and rosewood neck. Gorgeous bass, but found it really heavy. No idea on serial number. Think I partexchanged at a shop not long after. I would love to see where it ended up. If anyone here has any clues, would love hear from you. Cheers Nige

I remember seeing a lefty Carl Thompson in a second hand shop in 88/89 for £600......

How about the Steinberger Spirit XT2? Nothing more eighties than a Steinberger, and pretty cheap.

Moody Guthrie

This isnt the For Sale section.

Im partly responsible for the expansion to Musical Exchanges when they opened the downstairs showroom. I did the building/painting/flooring in there. That's how I got a job in the shop. Brilliant place and atmosphere.

Just heard from a good source , that PMT as a whole has gone bump.

Just heard the whole chain has gone bump......

See you there mate.

Yeah, we predate the Flea/Frusciante Amoebas by a year or so. We even had sime kids come to see us, thinking we were Flea and co...... 😁

If you look up Absolution666.bandcamp.com, you should find us.

We'll probably do a KISS in a few years, so all is not lost. Enjoying the death metal though.

After 33 years, my covers band, The Three Amoebas, grind to a halt. Admittedly we've done naff all for the past few years, with just the odd gig here and there. The band has always been a complete laugh and piss take, doing rock/metal/punk covers the way we want. People have always liked us, possibly because they're usually mates😄. We've been good friends since the eighties, but sort of drifted offvto do other stuff life wise, musically and job wise. The drummer's on Talksport and Planet Rock, and recording his own stuff, the guitarist has his other bands, and I'm doing old school death metal. Our last ever gig is in June. A bit bittersweet, but hey, life goes on.

Glad you got it in the end. Nice bass.

Vio-lence and Exhorder last Friday. Both blasts from the past.

Was in tribute called Punk Floyd. Played the whole of Darkside in twelve minutes.... imagine the Dickies on fast forward.

Im in the area, whereabouts in Brum? Im a lefty, but can give it a once over.

Yeah, the specialist mentioned surgery down the line. Hopefully it won't get that bad, but it doesn't look like it'll clear up on its' own.

Morning, just been diagnosed with Dupuytrens Contracture in my left hand little finger Not far advanced at the moment..... Fortunately Im a left handed player who uses a plectrum....😄 Anyone else have this, and has it affected your playing?

Ive got the lefty one of that. The neck is definitely narrower than the Mk1 Metro Express 5, which is really wide for a 5 string, compared to my Stingray, Sadowsky, Sandberg and Steinberger 5 necks. The Metroline is definitely the best neck of the lot. Beautiful bass by the way.

Does the guitar hide your truss and scaffolding needed to hold it?

I went out to try a Spector and came back with a Sadowsky...... 😁

Hercules with the neck grab.
