Bonin-in-the boneyard Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I been looking for a nice lefty 6 string bass Could anyone recommend one as I hardly ever seen them Thanks Quote
Bonin-in-the boneyard Posted August 16 Author Posted August 16 Thanks they look nice but bass direct only have the 5 string Quote
JohnR Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I bought mine from Bass Direct several years ago. They might be able to order one in. I customised mine beyond recognition with a Mike Pope preamp, upgraded Bartolini pickups and Hipshot hardware. I also took a router to it and changed the pickup positions and installed Luminlay dot markers on the fingerboard and side of the neck. You wouldn't recognise it as the same bass. 1 Quote
uk_lefty Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Warwick do a 6 string lefty, I think I've seen one at the bass gallery (fretless) and one on Thomann. I think ESP also do one but not sure. No idea on quality but I bet the Warwick is decent. The only six string I've had was a Brice years ago... I think if you're going six string you have to spend the money to get a decent instrument, it's harder to get round any cheaper bits like uncomfortable neck profile, fingerboard shape, bad bridge... Etc. in my opinion. 1 Quote
pineweasel Posted August 18 Posted August 18 There is a Sire 6-string lefty. Quite pricey by their standards. https://www.andertons.co.uk/sire-f10-left-handed-6-string-natural-satin/ 1 Quote
Bonin-in-the boneyard Posted August 18 Author Posted August 18 Yeah over the years I've had Warwick Carvin ACG Status all 6 strings Should have really kept the Status that was nice not to heavy and had a great neck I did see a dingwall ng3 6 strings On eBay but it's not what I'm after Quote

JohnR Posted August 21 Posted August 21 ESP do a left handed B-206 which had a decent reputation and was a fair price. https://www.espguitars.com/products/9858-b-206sm-ns 1 Quote
