It is what it is. Value?

Sadly significantly less than an fully intact right-handed one. Given the crude nature of the conversion it only detracts from the resale value. Anyone with a right handed Riv, a drill and 15 minutes to spare could do the same thing (but hopefully not). I'm sure it was done a long, long time ago when these weren't special and it was no big deal.

Wonder where/how they got the lefty bridge, couldn't have been easy.

Good point. If the bridge had been the only modification, the current owner could put a right handed bridge on the bass and sell it for very nice money... and probably sell the lefty bridge separately for decent bucks too.

Carmine, or anyone- what would the real-world price be for this if it had never been altered? $2800US seems pricey for a bass that's been this crudely made into a lefty...
