Hey, has anybody else noticed these? Damn I really wish Eastwood would do both of these in lefty, I'm confident lefties would snap both of these up in a heartbeat, at least I know I would!! I'm guessing sales of the Ovation Magnum copy didn't set the world on fire, but I sure hope that lack of response hasn't soured Mike on offering lefty versions of other basses- I like both of these MUCH better than the Magnum, and both would be so easy to modify electronics and hardware to suit your personal taste. Anybody else interested- maybe we could drop him a line... PJ, aren't you pretty tight with Mike? ;)

They've been out a month or so. The T-Bird doesn't interest me but I really dig the other. Whenever I get a bass from Mike I'm always sure to thank him for carrying lefty basses.

I had inquired about the Stormbird when they first came out. The bottom line for the majority of Mike's lefty offerings: He typically requires at least a 10 piece minimum order to make it happen, which is better than most companies but we've had trouble rounding up even 10 orders in the past on other models/brands.

This is a great price for a cool bass, and I'd throw in in a heartbeat if I could get one in a fiver... I just don't play four-strings anymore... :(
