Clarky Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) My left handed 12 year old son has moved on to a full sized bass, so his old SX bass is up for grabs. Its very short scale (Bronco like) and I had to import it from the US as there were no UK suppliers of short scale, lefty basses. Looks wise, its nice - a three tone sunburst Precision-alike with a maple board. Only issue is minor - missing vol knob (it has the pop on rather than screw on chrome knobs, very cheap on eBay). Cost me about £100 with import tax IIRC. Its a great learner if any of you have a left handed kid and I wil happily hand it over in London (I live nr Hammersmith and work nr Liverpool St) in return for a donation to BassChat.

waynepunkdude Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have a feeling it's such a generous offer a lot of people are leaving it for someone who really needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwoff Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Sounds fair! Always wanted to do a project and play a short scale so seems a good oppertunity to kill 2 birds! Before I get it though I will pass the info onto a couple of friends who are school teachers in london maybe they have someone in one of their classes who wants a lefty bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_nottm Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have 6 month old twins, and one of them is starting to look like she'll be left handed. any chance you can hang on to it for a few years until it becomes clear whether she is or isn't?
