Help a Lefty out!!

How about a Music Man Sterling? They've been making lefty Sterlings for a while now.

 

I second the sterling. I play lefty and have one. I love it.

 

For 2000 you might be able to get a Custom lefty, but Carvin does lefty's for no charge.

 

If it doesn't have to be a short scale, I would second the Music man Idea. Bass central has a very large selection of left handed stingrays.

Have you checked out southpaw guitars? THey have a great selection.

Amos,
I have a handful of recommendations for you...check your PMs for my thoughts on your question.

 

My Gawd, lefty basses just feel so strange to me! BTW, I'm a lefty also! Outside of eating, writing, and cooking, I do everything else right handed. BTW, go for a lefty Jazz or Sterling.

 

Amos-check one more time. It should be there now. If not, let me know.

 

I know of an early G&L L-1000 that's for sale at a shop in Franklin, OH, if you're interested.

You can also contact Goodman Guitars in Chillicothe, OH. They specialize in lefty axes.

 

Check out Southpaw Guitars in Texas.

I wouldn't associate G&Ls with light weight. Every one I have ever played, including the L2500 that I owned for a while, was moderate to heavy.

My ash 2500 was easily heavier than a Les Paul.

 

I don't feel that L-2000s are all that heavy as long as you have a good strap. But it's true that the G&Ls definitely shouldn't be associated with lightweight (especially the early ones made with mahogany that are around 12-13 lbs!). Most people play the swamp ash G&Ls, which I think aren't that much heavier than other ash basses. You can also get an L-2000 in alder. Those are fairly lightweight.

 

warwick and carvin do not charge extra for lefties.

for the best service, get in touch with Gard (tb'er as well) at www.basscentral.com - they have a nice lefty selection (better than southpaw)

welcome, fellow lefty!
