my name is luca and ive been plying bass for about 2 yrs but played classical guitarre before that for 5 years. I am a left handed bassist so ive been having a hard time find a jazz bass that I like the look of. If you have any models you guys like let me knw! Saw a really nice video by loanlobster about a green stingray with 2 pickups for only 400 ducks but they don't make a left handed version -.-

Welcome from the Wisconsin Bass players club
Stop by anytime to chat, show off your gigs or gear.
I also am left handed, but back in 65 when I started left handed instruments were rare, and very expensive.
My mom was a single parent so anything left handed was out of the question.
So I learned to play right handed.
The only drawback for me is using a pick is difficult, so I use fingers, but I can pick up any bass and play it.
My bass teacher back then said having my dominant hand on the fretboard would be a plus going forward.
Now I’m not saying you should change, but it may be with thinking about
Just saying
Good luck on your quest

Honestly, that didn't appeal to me.
How about this...

Also was tempted by this one but I saw that horrible gash on it "very good" condition my arse. https://reverb.com/item/46364477-sx-left-handed-5-string-jazz-bass I like that absolutely gigantic neck on that one I'm a 6'7 bballer and I prefer a very fat neck.
