Spike Vincent Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I have one. No one I've spoken to has any idea how many were made, not even the experts. In view of the 1960's Burns production methods, I'm considering the possibility this may even be unique.

If you're after one exactly like mine, mention me as the cost may be the same. I sent him my original guard to work from. PM'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Perhaps a little bit OT in here (or maybe not...), but I have a thread running in the 'Events' forum about a proposed series of Lefty Bass Bashes in the New Year. If you haven't seen it yet you may care to pop over there for a bit of a read. Last year's was held near Warwick, and although attendance was small it was an excellent day that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who came. I'm hoping for the same next time - but with bigger numbers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammers Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hello! First time poster but been a lurker for a while Here's my southpaw Sandberg TT4 Passive - Hardcore Aged.

DorsetBlue Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Played an Epiphone Classic Thunderbird in Macaris on Saturday upside down, works a treat (other than the reversed strings, which can be sorted). Sounded really nice, neck was very J like and looked gorgeous (Alpine White model, didn't look much far off my Gibson SG in finish quality). Controls did not get in the way at all. GAS now engaged.

Nodd Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Anyone noticed the lefty G&L SB-2 going for €649 on Arnie's site? Bit of a bargain? http://www.leftybass.com/e_start.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It sure is. I've owned one (sunburst, rosewood board, old model with 3-bolt neck joint and the old bi-cut neck) and it was a great bass. Loved the Jazz Bass-like neck profile and the neck finish, feels very smooth. Sounded awesome too, the splitcoil is like a regular P-pickup on steroids. I used the bridge pickup as a tone control, as the bass has none, and it works great. These are very versatile even with just two volume controls.

-Virtue- Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 new member leftie here, I switched to the low end a few years ago (originally I play guitar left handed), at the moment im using restrung basses, a squier p-bass and a Vintage. Its not too bad, but I really want a leftie bass i can call my own! Seriously considering a steinberger.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Welcome to the fold, Sammers and Virtue! Luckily for us, nowadays lefty models from most big names aren't exceedingly hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later band requirements and personal leanings took me elsewhere and I haven't played much fretless for 15 years.

Dread Bass Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ive always loved fretless but i think there are so many fretless fretless players around just now. Dominic Lapointe has been a massive influence on my and he is also a lefty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrwWBFp91U0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
