The price is a bit high (righties are typically under $500), but these are getting hard to find now. I can't even find their original website anymore, as it seems they only have a German site. They only made a handful of lefties, I believe. I found one on eBay a few years ago. The MM PUP isn't great, so I ended up purchasing a custom made lefty MM/J hybrid PUP from Proto Guitars. Now it has both a MM and J option on the single PUP.

Nice.
Do you happen to know what the neck dimensions are on these?

If I saw that 3 years ago, I would be all over it. Such a cool, crazy bass...

Well that price is much better. Must be a consignment deal and the first dealer to sell it gets the commission.

The neck, BTW, is a pretty typical standard Jazz bass profile.

Very Spin Doctors-y. I kinda dig it.
