When guitar players try to string up a bass

What was it?

It's interesting how some things get made backwards while others are standard for either way.

Yeah, TBH, if I didn't have a SR650 (or whatever the heck the number is) and an SRC6 staring at me from on the wall, I never would have noticed the fact that the wood is sloped to the opposite side. I have no idea why they did that, but tbh, I just play the things. :D

I could totally get a sr505 or 305 and put a righty neck on and have people looking at it like it's a prestige they've never seen before. The thing is that every 5 string I have has 3 tuners on the top side so that would probably mess with me a little.
 
Tongue firmly planted in cheek!
Most of the premium and prestige editions are opposite headstock from the standard editions so I completely took that seriously because of how easy it is to be mistaken. But good joke though, as a lefty I'm used to those jokes my entire life. It's either being told I'm doing it backwards or upside down or just wrong handed. It's fun being a minority sometimes.
