Re: Lefty friendly parts businesses (Europe) ?

Mainly necks for now, but it could grow to a full complete build.

I'm looking for Warmoth alternatives (i know Warmoth quality is top notch for the price, but unfortunately shipping and import duties will skyrocket the final price).

Re: 1971 Precision

Yes the guy is a famous collector here in Italy.

As with all collectors, he doesn't really care to sell the basses, unless you're willing to pay what he asks for.

Great basses, but ... i'd be very careful.

I know for sure that one of the basses (well actually one of the most expensive ones) that ...

Re: Hot Rod P Bass

Hot rodded Ps are great basses IMO.

I dont know it the pickups are different from the standard series, but it seem to me that they sound rather consistently throughout the whole series.

Good-looking bass; fake, or not....

Yes it is a fairly well made bass, though it has some minor cosmetic differences if compared to a real rick. Sound wise reminds me a lot of my old 70s Rick.

I'd like to convert it to a 4000 style bass, but i cant find enough time to play, let alone having time ...

Re: Gibson offering lefty basses again in 2018

wow :shock:

Is the price right or is the guy taking advantage from the fact that the bass is discontinued ? I guess the bass + shipping + taxes are way over my budget :(

some question about Epiphone Viola

Is the Epiphone Viola currenlty being offered in lefty ?

Thanks

Re: Gibson offering lefty basses again in 2018

I would like a lefty version of the les paul bass. I tried one by chance last week and it turned out to be most fat sounding bass i have ever played.

Re: 1983 "E" series Precision bass made in USA w/ maple fb

Some year ago i purchased an identical bass from the US, the serial was E3185xx like this one.

Probably at a certain point they did a batch of lefties.

Soon i got rid of it because it wasnt remarkable from a sonic point of view, it lacked the typical growl of a 70s P Bass.

Re: Another Japanese JB for $550 obo

The pus seem to be old di marzios.

I also own a 80s E jazz. The stock pickups sound fairly good, i'll give some other pickups brand a try.
