Whatever it takes to get the bass built, right? Notice the back control plate. Isn't that a righty control plate? :o Notice where the neck plate is. That neck is kicked back pretty far but the bridge is all the way to the tail so I guess it is ok for intonation. :roll:

Yea, I posted something on the string thru body bass with the string thru holes RIGHTY and a RIGHTY bridge that you could not properly intonate lefty due to the vendor bridge used. Geeezzzzzz!

Good grief.

It's funny, at very first glance this guy's basses look pretty nice, but it quickly degenerates into abysmal awfulness once you enlarge the photos!

What else can you do on those lonely Alaskan nights, but build "quality" lefty basses... :shock:
