wish list

[frankenjazz]

i pose a question to all you lefty bassists if you can choose any 5 mass production righty basses to be made available left handed what would they be and why.
mine are as follows

1. Yamaha John Pattituchi signature 6 II (not a giant fan of his playing but love his tone and the spacing of the strings is just awsome)
2.Fender Marcus Miller 4 (its the marcus miller signature that says it all)
3.Epihone Korina flying v bass (im a sucker for a flying v)
4.Ephiphone EB3 reissue (im a giant jack bruce fan and i love the natural growl of the neck pickup of the originals and if the reissue is infact a true reissue well then...that would be perfect woudn't it)
5.Fender Victor Bailey jazz bass (though im not a fan of all those basses that have the really high fi preamps that makes them sound more like a guitar then a bass this bass is similar but has something about it, i played it once and it just has that certain i dont know what to it)

1) Gibson Thunderbird
2)Fender Jazz bass 70's reissue
3)Fender Geddy Lee Jazz
4)Gibson Ripper
5)Gibson Les Paul bass

There's a ton more I can think of, and the reason for all is just because i like them.

2.) Fender USA Standard Jazz 5-string (with the same color/wood options as righties)
3.) Yamaha JP Sig 6... (great call on that one)
4.) MM Stingray 5 with both dual pickup configurations
5.) MM Sterling 5, also with all pickup options

1) Fender Tony Franklin fretless
2) Modulus Quantum anything

1. Epiphone Jack Casady signature
2. Gibson Ripper
3. Any Fender model that's not a lefty with full color options

In random order:













And that Läkland JO5 that Gravesbass owns

[Addison]

3) Dingwalls!!!

D'OH!!!

I forgot that one... I'd looooooooooove a nice Dingy.

And that Läkland JO5 that Gravesbass owns

I think he got rid of his Lakland JoBo5...

I wish i would have had the money when he decided to dump it, cuz then I'd have the only two in existence.

Here's mine before I installed a J-Retro:



I kept the original electronics all wired up on the plate, ready to go in case I ever want to switch back...

[pjmuck]

1. Fender Mustang
2. Kubicki X-Factor
3. Gibson Ripper
5. Parker Fly
6. A 4 string Lakland!
7. Dingwall
8. Fender Telecaster/'51 or '56 RI P

[Jeroen]

2. Kubicki X-Factor

Good call! Completely forgot about that one

[pjmuck]

I'll also add a Reverend Rumblefish, though they're not even reissuing righties yet.

[Addison]

6. A 4 string Lakland!

Do you mean their Skyline series?

Because every USA bass they make is available as a lefty at no additional charge.
