Facebook marketplace and Gumtree are both free to list. Ideal for local in person cash sales. The easiest kind. Completed ebay listings is a good way to guage what they might be worth. Best of luck and sorry about your friend.

The main problem I have with symmetrical basses is neck dive. I have one that is a righty flipped. I replaced the pots with flush push buttons that let me switch the pickups on and off separately. It works well but I play it rarely because it neck dives badly. This has put me off trying any others. The one style that I think would actually work better flipped is that utterly stupid design by Gibson, the thunderbird. It would be improved by flipping it. Probably still an ergonomic disaster but less so than a flying V or an SG. I have used a few righty necks and agree adding dots to the other side is easy and the reverse headstock thing doesn't affect the ergonomics. Could you show us a better pick of that kelly bird you are holding? Nice colour.

Sorry guys but I find these discussions irritating. If someone is fully left or right handed then playing the other way will NEVER be as good as playing with the natural hand. One side of your brain deals with rhythm. If you try to play with the wrong hand doing the plucking then you'll never be as fluent as the "correct" way round. What most of you are describing is some level of ambidexterity. I'm fully left handed, kick with my left foot, if I golfed it would need to be lefty clubs etc. I could learn to play right handed with enormous effort but I'd never match my skill playing lefty even if I practised for 100 years. Having said all that, the only way to know for you is to try it. You will be able to develop some degree of ability left handed, how much and how quickly depends on how your brain is wired to your body. Good luck, sorry to hear about your injury, sounds nasty and painful.

Yeah I was being sarcastic. Doesn't always come across well on the internet. The "published" was intended as a jibe. Still, he seems quite proud of his work and it does seem to sell so what do we know? On second thoughts, PT Barnums famous quote probably applicable.

No one has mentioned that a P pickup right up against the neck isn't going to sound like a P Bass. No idea what that jazz pickup will sound like but it must be close to the P position now. It certainly won't sound like a regular PJ. He used to butcher the cheaper Harley Benton basses but he looks to have switched to Glarries. It's the logos written in chunky sharpie that really crack me up. Well worth a 500% markup IMHO. I Didn't know he was a published author. Colour me impressed!

That's hardly in the spirit of DIY. Besides, I'm not convinced those convex files won't take a little off the top of the frets. With the above method it is difficult to get it wrong if you follow the video carefully.

I've used this method. The tool was simple and cheap. The sandpaper was the only real cost and I had most of that laying around. Easy to do and the results look great.

Could it be the bass?

I wonder how that differs from this? I love Sandbergs too btw. This one is mine. Just a simple basic 4 but it is an amazing instrument. Bought it from GuitarGuitar last year.

I have a candy apple red B1000 lefty. Great player and great sound. Mine is wearing tapewounds right now. Has has flats on it before. Am I right the company doesn't exist any more?
