Actually, I don't think ANY of my basses were bought in NJ, now that I think of it. Most were purchased online and shipped from where ever. So someone else is buying up lefties in this stat,e or maybe there aren't any.

Epiphone no longer makes the lefty T-Birds (I think they made them for about 5 minutes), but Tokai and Greco still do for the Asian market. Some people claim they're closer to a Gibby, since they make neck thru versions. In fact, check this one out: :o

If you're determined, you might be able to contact the store and get it shipped here, then you'd definitely be the only guy in the country with one, LOL. Rate of exchange puts it at about $640.00US minus shipping.

Cool mna, thanx for the tip. FYi there are lefties in NJ, not much to write home about but every now and again I'll walk into a music store and something will catch my eye. I picked my last bass in NJ, it was a G&L Tribute, picked it up at Robby's, the actually have a lefty room, just gotta check them periodically...............Thanx for the website again man.

Cheers, Ed

Is that the Robbie's in Wayne you're talking about, or the one in Mahwah? I didn't know they had a lefty section.

Here's another place in NJ that has a nice lefty stock. I haven't been there yet:

"That NJ place has some good stuff, but that guy gets all upset when you try and ask for a deal, guess I don't blame him."

It's up to him if he'll deal or not, but there's the reason that he's been sitting on some basses for years too.
