Be interesting to see how much this one goes for. This looks a very seriously nice bit of kit to my eyes.

That's BCer DreadBass' sale. Seems there has been little interest. To be fair, left handed, six strings and fretless is pretty niche :-D

I wonder how much Jon Letts would charge to cut a piece out of the lobe and transfer it to the other side so that it becomes a righty.

As said above the 6 string is mine. I have priced it at what I think is fair as I think it would really benefit from a preamp being added. Also I got it in the original bass offer so I don't feel comfortable asking more.

It is a niche product for sure so we will see. I hope it sells as it's a good bass and I need to buy more bass stuff :).

It certainly looks to me to be a very nice piece of kit for a very good starting price. As a niche product, so there is perhaps the age old problem of whether there are some buyers of that niche in buying mode at the right time. But there's an opportunity for a southpaw there, I can't imagine a similar rightie bass being available at that price.

If it could benefit from active electronics, then couldn't this be done by using one of the powered DI boxes out there? Given the status of this bass, probably something upmarket from the Behringer BDI21 would be fitting.

Do you have videos of you using the bass?
