Finally, A Rickenbacker...

I like the look of. 😀

The solution was a saw all the time.

There was a thread about this on TalkBass and apparently the bass was previously owned by someone who played left-handed and removing the "upper" cutaway was their solution to better high register access.

I like it! Cool band BTW..

Looks like the bridge was in the wrong place too.

I picked up a Faker someone had butchered into a lefty in a similar way a few years back - good quality thing that probably started life as a Shaftesbury. Might've kept it if it hadn't also had the frets crudely ripped out & neck binding stripped off.

Stripped it for parts & flipped the neck/body for more than I paid. Wonder what happened to it?

The Talkbass thread got a little silly, but I've been enjoying the band.
