G.S.T.Ring

I'm a rightie who plays leftie due to a serious muscle injury many years ago. I don't have the option of re-training myself to play rightie unfortunately.... Just thought I'd let you guys know that the lack of decent quality LH basses is not limited to the U.K.

I'll need to save up no matter what I want to get so budget isn't really a factor atm. I play mostly bluesy/rock stuff but I'm only doing session fill ins right now (I don't get enough time off from shift work to be gigging) so I only really need a practice rig. My first bass was a LH Samick Pro Series which had a great sound for what I play, but they were hard to get 10 years ago and are almost impossible to find now due to the special order involved. I really like some of the stuff in the review section, especially the Vintage Fender P... but haven't seen em over here as yet. I drive an EB series 2 Falcon which used to fit a Marshall 6 x 10 cab & head with 2 flight cases thrown in too. Hope this clarifies things?

As some/most of you may know, my rig was stolen recently. I'm currently saving up for a new one (thanks for the offers of replacement gear) and thought I'd get some input from the "experts". If you were buying everything over again from scratch, what would you consider essential? What would you suggest has the best tone/feel? All opinions will be treated with respect btw.... I'm looking for feedback not a chance to ridicule anyone
