I've been searching nearly every day for a lefty AmPro Jazz neck. Finally I gave up and ordered a Warmoth neck. It'll be here in a couple of months. Then yesterday, I saw a lefty, a tiny nick on the headstock. Maple, RIGHTY. Good deal on it, so I bought it. So now, I've got the two necks coming in. I started thinking about that extra neck, and so I went on the search for a body and found a good deal on a loaded AmPro Jazz body. I'll probably put the Warmoth neck on it.
Buying the neck and body separately cost me just around $1000. I've seen used American J Basses selling for $1400-1700 during this period of no AmPro lefties again until January. I didn't set out to buy a new bass, but I'll be damned if I didn't do it! I love the black finish with a white pickguard. Elegant. The kind of bass you sling when you're wearing a suit and tie to play. ha ha.

Reminds me it's time to dig out some of my projects, and complete them....
