sblueplanet Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Got my pickguards back from Jack’s Instruments. I have a lefty medium scale 32” P bass in vintage white. I couldn’t decide between a tort and a gold anodised one so got both. Edited February 3, 2018 by sblueplanet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblueplanet Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Decided to fit the gold one as it changes the look of the bass depending on the light. Edited April 29, 2018 by sblueplanet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love a Rick but the cost has almost doubled in the past few years, can't justify it at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I bought a new 4003 in Mapleglo in 2009. Loved the looks and tone, but really disliked the (lack of) ergonomics, the square feel of the neck and the bridge keep falling backwards in the tailpiece. Would love a 4003s one day, maybe with a Hipshot replacement bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Newest member to the herd, Sire Marcus Miller P7 5 string. This is the second one Thomann sent me, I had to return the first one due to a non working P pickup and scratching preamp pots.

uk_lefty Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Let me know what you think of it, I am interested in these myself, or the M7 or V9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The neck feels and plays identical to my V7 and VV7, preamp is also the same, the main difference is the body shape and the sound characteristics of the P pickup. The tuners are also different from the ones that are on my V7's. Cheaper? Better or worse? I don't notice any difference in use. The finish is very good, the preamp is extremely versatile and there are no sharp fret ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblueplanet Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I didnt know about this Sire model. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGBass Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just thought I'd contribute to the thread with one of my fave lefties, a late 90's USA P-bass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerstodge Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Love it, same as the one I had that I shouldn't of sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Lefty Harley Benton Fiesta Red PB-50, ordered one eight months ago right after it was announced, today it finally arrived! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Another new acquisition Sire Marcus Miller M2. Dirt cheap bass with a 35" scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 You sure own a lot of basses blablas. Curious, do you keep them all or sell a few on? Or is this a collection you are putting together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I keep them all. 😀 I don't consider them a collection, they all have their different characteristics and sound possibility's and all get played, a few get more play time than others but I keep them as players. Lefty's are a sort of rare beasts so if I run into one I like for a price I'm willing to spend on it I just buy it, you might never see one like it again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 And it's going back to the store again, was going to finetune the action only to discover the truss rod nut was stripped. No finetuning, no bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blablas Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The replacement is in. Everything works okay on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Lot's of lefty basses in a limited space. This picture was a experiment with a extreme wide angle lens, just to see if I could make a acceptable picture with all the distortion going on, not a bad result I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting on mine. How are they, blablas? I know they had an issue with using the wrong spaced bridges not long ago, it seems yours has the correct bridge.

blablas Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I put a set of flatwound strings on it and it has become one of my favourite 4 string basses. As I understand it from the information that is going round the wrong spaced bridge was/is only found on right handed versions of the PB-50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I've seen several lefty's come by on several bass forums and the only minor issue they all have is that the strings don't align neatly over all four pickup polepieces (the spacing between the polepieces is less than the string spacing) however if the strings align centered over the pickup it doesn't influence the sound at all.
