I know some of you are looking for a short scale, this seems to be a good deal...

Sorry, correction: medium scale, not short...

Crap.. That might be my old bass. It it's got a light flame maple neck (back), that was mine. I also installed a Duncan pickup in mine a few years before I sold it on ebay. Not many of these around at 32" scale.

Not specific to this ad, as all ads are kinda the same, but: isn't the rarity of a left handed bass canceled out by the rarity of left handed players?? (ie. the want/have-equation is kinda equal?)

J-meister: wish I could agree, but I believe that as far as lefties are concerned, the demand is higher than the supply.

I personally would have double the number of basses I have today if I would be a right handed person. Just cannot always find what I want in a lefthand. And if I do, sometimes the rarity makes the product much more expensive than its right-handed counterpart.

Exactly

I would probably be less of a hoarder if I were right handed, so I might actually own fewer basses.
I have some 4-strings that I rarely play, but that are kinda rare. I can't really justify keeping them, but I always go "No, I could never sell that one! I'll never be able to find another one like it if I ever come to regret it!"

I probably would have outright purchased LESS high-end basses, if only for the fact that I could have played a bunch of them at NAMM or in stores, etc. before I decided to drop the money on them.

I've taken quite a few high-dollar risks on basses I've never played before... some have worked out and some have not.
