lefthanded db conversion.

[paddy covell]

Anyone know much about converting a righthanded double bass into a lefthanded.Topnut and bridge are pretty easy but what about swapping the sound post and bass bar over.Any thoughts much appreciated.

I know I found it hepful. Does anyone know what the deal is with these basses? Who makes them and where and what is their quality like? What is the shop itself like to deal with

I switched just the nut, bridge and strings around. Worked fine. However, the E string never sounded loud enough to me (post issue I guess).
Anyway, I sold it a few years ago and just bought a Palatino EUB! Sounds great, no sound post and easier to move around!! But it's not a DB!
