Long-time lurker, happy to post my new bass. After 8 years of playing a '62 RI P Bass (righty converted to lefty), this bass is a pleasure to play.
Ebony board, quartersawn maple neck with a satin finish.

Congrats! So does that mean it's your first truly left handed bass? |

Yep! I've had lefty guitars and converted righties, but when I took up bass, I didn't stop to think about the ergonomics of flipping such a large instrument. It's nice to not have to anchor the bass with my left hand or hold the neck up with my right. |

For sure. Flipping righties sucks. Glad you found a comfy instrument. |

Beautiful bass! What's the color - Fullerton Red? |

Yes, it is Fullerton Red. I have seen it on many guitars with a creme PG, and I was inspired by Pino's Fiesta Red P bass with tort gaurd. I also chose it because I think it will age well. Most importantly, it plays great! Thanks guys, I appreciate it. |

Gorgeous bass. That looks like a real thumper. "Yep! I've had lefty guitars and converted righties, but when I took up bass, I didn't stop to think about the ergonomics of flipping such a large instrument. It's nice to not have to anchor the bass with my left hand or hold the neck up with my right." I would love to assemble a list of al the reasons a lefty actually likes having a left handed instrument and include these very important issues the next time one of those righty knuckleheads on other forums posts ignorant statements like, "Why do you need lefty instruments/Just flip it over like Hendrix." |
