I read on Talkbass sometimes lefty guys complaining there are no good lefty choices out there. I think they are crazy!
When you're talking about brand new with a warranty in the $1000ish-$2000ish range, there really isn't much of anything... I think that's the biggest gap with lefties. There's plenty of lower priced import basses, and when you get to the $3000 and up booteek basses, you can pick just about anything. But, in the mid-price range, choices are VERY limited.
In the $1000ish-$2000ish range there are Stingray 4's and 5's and G&L 4's and 5's (the most options available), Fender American standards 4's only (pretty much ZERO options), Spector 4 and 5's (5's have 35" scale and both have rosewood boards only) and a few bolt on Warwicks like the Corvette...
Is there anything else?
When you look at everything else that's available out there, that's not very much... and that price range is what most gigging bass players can afford to "splurge" on, so I can understand the frustration.
'tis a shame.
. That being said there are even some nice Japanese Ibanez basses priced really low too. Good time to be a lefty with some loot.
