Oh well, at least we have Rics when we were able to get them right?

Man I'm itching for a 12 string Rick too. I'm hoping to find the Tom Petty model (660/12TP?).

I can't remember how many of those were made in lefty. IIRC, I think it was 4. I've only ever seen one lefty TP for sale. it was on the 'bay in 2003 and it went for a ridiculous sum of money. Not to mention it was Jetglo. Had all papers and case candy tho ....
AFAIK, the only difference between a 660-12 and a 660-12TP is the pickguard. I've seen lots of 660-12's that have had much better looking wood than the few TP's i've spotted over the years.

But lefty?

I always had a guilty pleasure desire for a Washburn Sarzo.

I kinda like the look of the very first Peavey Rudy Sarzo signature too. He also used to have a signature Warrior, more recently. Its styling was based largely on the Peavey Cirrus.

The old Peavey:

The Warrior:

But indeed: no lefty :|

Cirruses (If that's the plural, or perhaps it's Cirri?) are fantastic basses. I wish they'd make lefties once and for all.

Anybody have any experience with some of the other past and present Peavey lefties, like the Millennium or Foundation basses? I've always dug the look of the old T-40s too, but I don't think they ever made them lefty.

Same here! And indeed, they never made lefties. I've had severe GAS for a T-60 for a while but those too were never available lefthanded. Although one of the original designers of the T-60 started building authentic T-60 replicas by his own name, and he does offer a lefty. But anyone interested will have to bring some serious cash along...

He doesn't appear to be very active anymore given his website though...

Agreed, I've always had a soft spot for Peaveys 8-) , I sometimes see at least 1 go off on ebay every now and then, like recently.

In the mid-80's, my neighbor's bassist got a Dynabass that destroyed my '83 Precision. I went to the Peavey dealer to get one, but they didn't make them lefty. They tried to sell me a Foundation, but that wasn't what I wanted. I ended up with an Ibanez Roadstar 850, which was as cool as the Dynabass.

Got a new and interesting version of the T-Bird by ESP. It looks a little weird but the headstock is pretty cool

Lefthand?

And if not, could you please stop posting non-lefty instruments to stop teasing us and giving us false hope? ;)

I am not sure yet, but i do know it is going to be at NAMM 2010. on a lighter note from ESP, I do know that they did make the D series, F series and the Surveyor series lefty. Sorry for posting both rightys as well. I'm just trying to cover every new bass that is coming out. ;)
