SHOW YOUR LEFTY BASSES!

My warmoth build, with a righty neck. (They don't make blocked necks for lefties)

You sure about that? ;)

My two babies. I'll be getting a few more Washburn (lower end) basses in the next while (couple weeks or so, a few good pawn shop deals), but these are my two main steeds. I love them to bits!!!!
Each bass is awesome in its own way. The F bass is impossibly easy to play, but the tonal range is incredible on the conklin, much like its own tone. Very different then the F bass, but very easy to work with towards any setting.

Next up will be an F bass BN7..... F bass = Pure love. George knows how to make basses like no one else. Play an F bass and you'll quickly agree.
 
Added a couple more to the arsenal:
'52 P Bass built with Warmoth parts and a custom made lefty wiring harness:

Okay, confess. Where on earth did you find a lefty control plate? I've researched building a lefty '51 RI style P bass myself, and this is the one part that seems impossible to find. I thought about flipping a righty plate, but the screw holes are recessed and the underside would need to be chromed.

That took a bit of work. I work at a steel company and had the guys cut me a couple of leftys. I searched and searched for lefty control plates but couldn't find any anywhere. I was going to just flip a righty over but asked the guys at work to cut me a couple out of scrap steel, they did a great job.

I do have a spare I might be willing to get rid of, if you are still looking...
 
Custom Bass, Bartolini customs, Ash body, Maple Neck, Ebony fretboard, Sadowsky PreAmp... Sound Really Amazing!!

Presicion Bass now is equipped with Customs 60's Reed James pickups...
