NancyJohnson Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Our guitarist is a lefty, he's played bass elsewhere and owns a Fender Jazz and a Rickenbacker 4003. In the last few days he's been peppering me for suggestions for a shortscale he can just rack up in his studio and noodle on. Choicewise, no Fenders or Gibsons. He wants something a bit quirky/odd. He's looking at stuff like Eastwood or Danelectro. Anyone able to chip in with suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Danelectro has a lefty Longhorn that's really good fun, and Eastwood built lefty Hi-Flyer basses (Mosrite copy) that are pretty decent. If hollow or semi-hollow is an option too, I'd look at Höfner, Hagstrom (Viking Bass) and possibly that new Schecter that's up on Andertons' site: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/left-handed-bass-guitars/schecter-bass-banshee-bass-owht-lh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 We can park this. He just pulled the trigger on a 2018 Gibson SG. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the one I was tracking on ebay he's done me a favour... Was doing the sums mentally on what I could sell to fund it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 If it was the 2018 with the Babicz, then yes. A bit of a palaver buying it, mind. Seemed really worried about upsetting his wife with another purchase...went through all the tried and tested things he could say from, 'What? That old thing?' to 'I'm borrowing it from someone.' Messaging went quiet and about a hour later he shot me over a screenshot of the purchase. What a dance, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardMarlowe Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have a basssitting in my office that I can't bring home until I sell a couple of my guitars. (Though it'#s now known about). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
