Where to buy a left-handed bass ukulele?

I've seen a few righty ukuleles at a music shop - some are perfectly symmetrical -at least on the outside - and can be turned upside down with no problems, but it's always necessary to replace or file/adjust the bridge and nut, although that didn't look like a huge job, given the relative thinness of all the strings.

What is a bass ukulele ? Do you mean like a baritone uke ?

Famously the ukulele orchestra of grea britain called their acoustic bass a "bass ukulele "

The strings on these are pretty thick so may be a bit more of a job than normal, but nothing a decent luthier shouldn't be able to sort out.
