Guess the pics are reversed? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980s-G-L-leo-f ... 1e983de638

I don't think this is a lefty bass. If the pics were reversed the writing on the headstock and neck plate would be backwards.

Sent the seller an email asking to confirm if lefty or righty. We'll see if he responds.

It's a right-handed bass. The seller is just being selfish.

I really wish eBay had some kind of quality control on that. The problem is that the seller can select both left-handed and right-handed, instead of having to select only one or the other. Although I suppose such a thing "could" exist, I have never seen a completely ambidextrous bass (the only thing even close I have seen is the Steinberger Spirits, since it's easy to flip the strings around, and there are strap buttons on both wings. But, even then, the knobs would be in the way). 80% of the "left-handed" basses listed are actually right handed. If it's a stock photo and both lefty and righty are available in the depicted color, then that would be okay. Other than that, it's just pretentious and obnoxious, and makes us filter through the results.

I always thought it would be funny to select "buy it now" for a really expensive bass that the seller has listed as left-handed but is actually right-handed, and say, "I'd like the left handed model, please." Then, when the seller responds and says, "the one shown is the only one I have," reply, "oh, sorry." And the seller has to eat the fees. Anyway, that's just me being spiteful. I've never actually done that :lol:

Didn't know that about ebay. How does a seller possibly think putting left handed or lefty in the actual listing description will help sell a righty bass? Makes no sense to me. It seems counter productive and would tend to just piss people off.

Listing is now for a right handed bass ( Still says left handed in dexterity field.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980s-G-L-leo-f ... 1e983de638

I contacted the seller a few days ago to let him know about the mistake, he changed the ad and did respond to thank me for it...
