Someone needs to write a law that states that you are not allowed to use a cell phone camera for the purpose of taking pictures of a "for sale" item that costs any more than twenty bucks.

There was a righty '62 Jazz Bass for sale on eBay not too long ago for $12K... there were 4 pictures of it and they looked like they were taken using a webcam from 1996... I was like.. ummmm... :?:

I'm wondering if Ken set the bass up that way strung righty, or if the nut is even righty-specific. It would be no simple task (or not as simple as replacing a plastic/bone nut) to replace the brass nut with a lefty one.

Aren't Ken Smith bridges also filed for each individual bass?

Similar to Badass bridges?

If they are, that would be a pain too...
