Hi all. This is my first post. I thought it was worth to show my left-handed baby. It's a U.S. Masters EP 55. Great luthiers, not so well-known as they'd deserve to be.
It might be for sale in the near future, since I'm planning to buy a sixer.

I'm actually a righty, but I wanted to do something a little different. I was in need of a 4 string but I was torn between a P bass and a Jazz. So.....I got both and did a neck swap (A lefty J and a righty P). The J body is a Warmoth and the original neck was an all Birdseye Warmoth. The neck on it now is from an MIJ Fender P&J (Pearl white body w/ Kahler trem).

Fret access sucks, but I never play up that high anyway! Balance is terrible, but I'm working on remedies. And I had to rewire the pots to turn righty. It's akward, but it looks neat IMO, and I got that J-bass tone which is what I really cared about.

MC4 HE/S

and a

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

installed instead of the standard carvin humbuckers


although I suppose it'd be worth the try the new carvin hums and preamp before....I guess.
