i pose a question to all you lefty bassists if you can choose any 5 mass production righty basses to be made available left handed what would they be and why.
mine are as follows

1. Yamaha John Pattituchi signature 6 II (not a giant fan of his playing but love his tone and the spacing of the strings is just awsome)
2.Fender Marcus Miller 4 (its the marcus miller signature that says it all)
3.Epihone Korina flying v bass (im a sucker for a flying v)
4.Ephiphone EB3 reissue (im a giant jack bruce fan and i love the natural growl of the neck pickup of the originals and if the reissue is infact a true reissue well then...that would be perfect woudn't it)
5.Fender Victor Bailey jazz bass (though im not a fan of all those basses that have the really high fi preamps that makes them sound more like a guitar then a bass this bass is similar but has something about it, i played it once and it just has that certain i dont know what to it)

1) Gibson Thunderbird
2)Fender Jazz bass 70's reissue
3)Fender Geddy Lee Jazz
4)Gibson Ripper
5)Gibson Les Paul bass

There's a ton more I can think of, and the reason for all is just because i like them.

never heard of the ripper before but thats an awesome name

Fun thread...

Lots come to mind, but these are probably the 1st on my list...

1.) Fender USA Deluxe Jazz 5-string (with the same color/wood options as righties)
2.) Fender USA Standard Jazz 5-string (with the same color/wood options as righties)
3.) Yamaha JP Sig 6... (great call on that one)
4.) MM Stingray 5 with both dual pickup configurations
5.) MM Sterling 5, also with all pickup options

mmmmm ....
1) Fender Tony Franklin fretless
2) Modulus Quantum anything
3) Dingwalls!!!
4) Ric 4003's
5) +1 for the Gibson Les Paul bass. While we're at it, let's wish for choices of active or passive pups/electronics

1. Epiphone Jack Casady signature
2. Gibson Ripper
3. Any Fender model that's not a lefty with full color options
4. Squier vintage series models, specifically the Classic Vibe Precision '50s Bass Guitar

1. Gibson EB-6(later version)
2. Fender VI
3. Gibson Thunderbird
4. Gibson Ripper
5. Fender Mustang

You guys came up with mine already, but I'll second these:
1. MM Stingray 5 w/ 2pickups HH or HS
2. Fender Jazz MIA Std 5 string with more color options
3. MM Sterling 5 w/ 2 pickups HH or HS
4. Fender Victor Bailey Jazz fretless w/ no fretlines
5. Gibson anything!

In random order:













And that Läkland JO5 that Gravesbass owns

D'OH!!!

I forgot that one... I'd looooooooooove a nice Dingy.



I think he got rid of his Lakland JoBo5...

I wish i would have had the money when he decided to dump it, cuz then I'd have the only two in existence.

Here's mine before I installed a J-Retro:



I kept the original electronics all wired up on the plate, ready to go in case I ever want to switch back...

1. Fender Mustang
2. Kubicki X-Factor
3. Gibson Ripper
5. Parker Fly
6. A 4 string Lakland!
7. Dingwall
8. Fender Telecaster/'51 or '56 RI P

Good call! Completely forgot about that one

I'll also add a Reverend Rumblefish, though they're not even reissuing righties yet.

Do you mean their Skyline series?

Because every USA bass they make is available as a lefty at no additional charge.

Yep, Skyline.

1) Ibanez ATK750
2) Electra Outlaw
3) Ovation Magnum I or II
4) Kubicki Ex-Factor
5) Dean Stylist
