I would suggest contacting Gaskell and asking them about it. But I would think that there are a wider variety of sources for LH Fender-style basses then there are for Gibson-style basses, which seems to be why Gaskell focuses on those models (at least for now). But I would certainly recommend ...

Thanks; I enjoyed your review as well. I did check the TRC to make sure it wasn't a film issue. At some point I may remove it to make double (or triple) sure.

As for the knobs, it's not like they were a total mismatch; you can see them in the photo of the bass in the case. It's just that they were ...

I'm in the UK - Flight Case Warehouse. I've seen ads for Epiphone cases that don't have the shaped insert, so they're more like mine. You might try to hunt down one of those.

Thanks for the review mcarp - it certainly is a great looking bass. Are these pictures showing the new knobs? The only piece you need to change out now is the pickguard, for one showing the t-bird logo... unless the make a decal you can put on this one... otherwise - nice!

The top picture has the ...

Note: This review first ...

Alright, fine. Be content with being screwed over by most guitar manufacturers. Judging by the number of left-handers who own LH Hofner 500/1s, they're seriously overproducing this model, if nothing else (according to "common sense"). And yet those basses get sold to someone. The fact that all of ...

Let me say this again: " This is not a production model. With such a small run of instruments (even if it grew from 60 to 180), they could have easily made half of them left-handed and sold them just as fast. "

If we stick with just the UK, do you not think there might be more than four left ...

Remember this is not a production model. With such a small run of instruments (even if it grew from 60 to 180), they could have easily made half of them left-handed and sold them just as fast. Still doesn't excuse the fact that the original sixty CT models were *all* right-handed. That's a 0% for ...

Glad I'm so fondly remembered.

After Hofner did the initial run of *only* 60 Jubilee basses (using the Indonesian Contemporary bodies), they decided to make another 120, this time with the more expensive German-made 500/1. Sixty for the US and sixty for the UK/Europe market. These basses are a ...

And Paulie's has dots instead of the triangle inlays, as I recall.

Luckily your opinion is irrelevant, so I'm not as bothered as I was by the unfortunate way you chose to express your disagreeing with me. As you said, online you have to deal with all levels of people. So I won't let your comments change what I think in any way.

Let's stop and take a step back here. Certainly the discriminations against race and gender are of a different level than the discrimination guitar manufacturers practice. Can anyone please show me where I said otherwise?

However, the fact that they are different levels does not mean that there is ...

It's not my fault if you guys don't give a shit. Oppression and discrimination is what it is. If you're happy letting Fender and Gibson ignore you, flip over any bass you want, but don't whine if you can't get it left-handed. Certainly buying a guitar is not on the same scale as what other ...

Wow! Damn!

I'm surprised that I haven't seen any from Fender Japan; they tend to cover this sort of thing very well.

But that said, I really wouldn't be interested in a Japanese model, or a Squier. I have a 77/78 Precision and I'd like a Mustang/Musicmaster to match (more or less).

Fifty years ago, black people were required to ride on the back of the bus, drink from segregated water fountains, and sit in "colored" sections of restaurants (if they even served 'negros').

Women were expected to not work, and if they did, to earn less then men. A woman in a position of ...

It says in the listing notes:

whoever did this looks like they knew what they were doing

Uh, I don't think so. The finish looks like it was just chipped off in random places, not where you would expect to see normal wear & tear. Horrible.

Good job. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Precision style? No pics of the headstock or even the entire body? Bass tremolo? Neck shim? Sell it for parts and bin the body. Good grief.

I've heard that moving the strap pin from the upper bout to the neck area can help a lot with this.
