    Cool, I'm actually looking more along the lines of a mid 70's P-bass.

    Currently have a '62 reissue American made Jazz, Peavey Axcelerator and a Fender Jag bass.

    Actually was going to buy straight from Japan before they released these in the states, but then they released them here. Still would rather have 3 color sunburst like they have in japan, but that's life.

    Might turn this into a P-bass pick up set up.

    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    it actually seems to be pretty hard to find lefty pre-basses. i didn't even know there was a japanese one until i found this one.

    You guys do get the short end of the stick, not your fault your left handed.

    Start getting right handed bass, and string them left handed. Seen a bass player for someone like Snoop Dog (No lie) on a Saturday Night Live performance that had a right handed jazz strung left handed. It was actually pretty cool. Seen it with guitars all the time, never a bass.

    bass is a secondary instrument for me so i only need the one.

    i've tried upside down guitars and the balance is so terrible and usually the controls are in the way. it's not worth the hassle.
