ChWillie Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 A lefty who loves symmetrical guitars and basses, I hope to build my own symmetrical bass some day. My Hofner violin bass is symmetrical or course, but I especially love to see basses like the Alembics, which are expensive--I'll never buy one since old age is fast approaching and my steady gigging days are over. I wouldn't mind a Gibson Les Paul DC but not a short scale one. That might just be the kind I'll build when I do get around to it. But I'd love to see pictures of your symmetrical basses, hollow or solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I have had a few but these were my favourites. Yamaha SB-35. My biggest seller's remorse, getting rid of this. 32" scale perfection. I. Am. A. Fool. I have pestered the guy I sold it to to the point where I believe he is considering taking out an injunction Aria Pro II CSB 'Black n Gold'. I've had two of these, 32" scale again. Bit heavy and a bit middy and nasally but beautiful instruments. This was the first I had which was pretty much in museum condition. Not quite exactly symettrical as the upper horn is very slightly longer. Washburn Scavenger. A Precision bass in everything but shape. again, in great nick, probably 9/10. Had to sell it as is was way too heavy once I hurt my back but a fab thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
