I like this… I think the righty neck would overload my OCD, but it’s very cool. Sadly out of my price range, and I did pick up a 2005 Stingray a few weeks back :D

Price lowered to $1,795.00
If you don't mind the righty headstock, great price. I wouldn't mind that at all at that price but I have one already.

I remember seeing a lefty Sabre back in Brooklyn, N.Y. in about 1980-81. It belonged to a guy in a soon to be famous R&B/ dance group. Nice guy, and I loved the way it sounded and played. I told him if he ever wanted to sell it, to call me. He never did. I wouldn't have.
I bought my first Fender Precision, because my first Fender copy build had a righty neck on it. I wanted a 'real' lefty Fender bass with a real lefty headstock!
If you're Gerald Johnson, fine- or the extremely rare and unusual jazz bass that The Late Glenn Cornick played in the early days of Jethro Tull- righty, with a fretted and at one time fretless lefty Precision bass neck! That upside down headstock just is a nope for me.
