Wondering if its for sale yet, I'm after a bass that hasn't been worked on - its going to get taken to bits and turned into a lefty

No no don't do it!  The complicated stuff is all in the fingering hand so you south paws have an advantage over the rest of us!

And swapping the bass bar over, fitting a new bridge and reprofiling the fingerboard is an expensive way to de-value a valuable instrument!

you're right; I tried playing left handed as an experiment and it was worse that starting all over again. 

Apparently, if you have a symmetrical fingerboard you can get away with swapping the strings around without moving the bassbar and sound post ... sounds dodgy to me, but I suppose if you're playing through a pickup it doesn't make much odds. 

Anyway .. way off topic.
