Nice! Didn't you have a Classic too? How does this one sound? |

Yep, I've got a Classic IV, EEB-1, and Hi Flyer. This one has a full, wide-open tone, kinda Ric-ish. |

This one is a one-off(for now), there was a limited edition of 12 red righty ones. It's called a Sidejack 32, due to 32" medium scale. |

Love it! Was the bridge mounted like that for you from the factory? Can't see any traces of redrilled holes in your pictures

Bridge is mounted straight, from the factory. |

Oh, I see now, after inspecting your pics more closely. It's the tailpiece that's at an angle in your pics! |

Very nice. I had wondered how they sound. Interesting, when you go to Eastwood's site, and look at the blue left-hand photo for the Sidejack 32 Bass, it is strung righty! As you say, a one-off! |

So far just played it in the home studio, sounds somewhat Ric-ish. Neck gets kinda wide but not TOO wide, neck is straight, had to raise the bridge a bit, action was too low for my tastes. Satin finish on the neck. |

How does the Sidejack 32 compare to the short scale Hi-Flyer? |

 Totally different. Like comparing a Hofner and a Rickenbacker. The Hi-Flyer is fun for what it is, thumpy, but the 32 has a great ring to it and lotsa low-end too. Gonna sell the shorty. |
