well how about this lefty?
A friend on the leftybassist.com said I would **** myself when I saw it, naw..I don't reallylike Collen/Yamaha bodystyle, and already have a righthanded 5string Eliminator that has the same body but MAN for collectible purposes?..hell ya!!

I asked the sellers if they knew who it was made for...no clue :(
I asked if they would drop the price from 3500.00 to 2grand....not a chance :(
I do have a 5string righty version in red just as rare, but it really can't be used as a stage bass, where this white one could :)

I can't justify the 3.5-4grand cost just to have a lefty Jackson C/S unless it is EXACTLY what I wanted :crying:
 
Hey there. I'm lefty and play lefty. Since you often have to buy a lefty bass to try it out, I have four. The one I usually play is a Carvin LB20. Then there's a Fender Jazz MIM, Danelectro DC Bass, and a POS Davison Flying V. The V was super cheap so I couldn't pass it up. So cheesy.

I go to the store and try out the righty first, if I like it then I'll buy the lefty version somewhere else if they don't have one there to try.

like this one. Store didn't have a lefty, so I jammed on a righty, sounded and felt good to me, and found a used one for less than 100 bucks WITH a nice bag.

( if your wondering about the righty-lefty thing, I can play both string orientations )
