Great pix, Paulo! I feel like I was there.
Dd you get a chance to try out those Heritage basses or the new Fender Pros? (Even though they're righties)?

I picked them up plenty of times played a little upside down but didn't had a chance to plug them in cause the amps where all being used. Fender and Gibson where always packed! They had some very cool custom shop stuff too, but I don't recall seeing anything left handed except for Rickenbacker that had 6 left handed basses as seen in the pics but I tried to pick one up and it was zip tied to the hanger, I was so disappointed...! And Bill's Ibanez Roadstar was there too, other than those I don't remember seeing any other left handed bass. |

Nice pics Paulo! Rickenbacker seems to the most lefty friendly company there, and proud of it! On a side note I so would like to try the Mustang PJ in lefty. 34in scale if possible. What a sweet looking bass! Damn! |

bummer we didn't get a chance to meet at NAMM. due to the weather I only took cell phone pics and videos. there were more lefties at the show, but you really had to dig for them! and for the most part, it was guitars and not basses. Carvin had two guitars and this bass: http://www.kieselguitars.com/guitars-in-stock/134573 I couldn't stand the finish on the bass. Raw unfinished wood would have felt better UGH! Fender had 3 new model of lefty acoustics. I was duly impressed, the model that lists for $299 sounded freaking awesome through their new line of acoustic amps. And you know it's hard to tell what it sounds like on it's own (sans amp)[[pun intended!]] but from what I can tell they are the best sounding Fender acoustic guitars I've ever played. A builder from Finland had a cool Tele style guitar with a really nice flame maple neck, but I didn't take any pics, nor did I get a card. Martin had an EC-OOO-28. Taylor had their usual assortment of lefties. there was a builder from Oregon whose contact info I'll have to dig up that had a really really well made lefty fretless 5'er. I always have extremely low lefty bass expectations when I go Namm'ing, and thus never get disappointed!! Maybe next year with the 40,000 sq ft expansion there will be more leftys poking around.

George F (FBass) had a sunburst BN5 lefty bass at the show. It was really nice but pricy. I went back a few times but his booth was always packed. I didn't get to play it but already know it was killer. Georges basses do not dissapoint. Slim pickings for lefties but overall the show was a success. |
