The AGB200L is in the Artcore series and is available left handed. These are not easy to find lefty, and even the Ibanez website makes no mention of them being available left handed, but I found a couple of stores that either carry them or can get them:

https://americanmusic.com/xcart/product.php?productid=1490&cat=261&page=1

and
http://www.kennellykeysmusic.com/xcart/product.php?productid=13190&cat=236&page=1

Sharp looking bass, IMO.

I'd love this bass if it had a 34" scale. Once Rod gets a shop I'm putting him to work DarkStarring and converting to lefty the righty Artcore double cut away bass I have. :mrgreen:

I called American Music to inquire about the bass and they didn't have any in stock (despite what their website says about having 1 in stock), but they did say that could order one and it would take about 2-3 weeks.

Here's a sound demo I found of one on youtube. Nice and growly!

That does sound pretty good. I love the neck profile on the one I have.

Wow. That's awesome. Looks nice and sounds awesome. I like the guy's playing on the demo, too.

Man, I wish somebody will make a hollowbody with a Fender-like shape, with a longer upper horn and a smooth arm cut. Or even if it's a single cut, that the solid side meet the body around the 12th fret, for a more comfortable playing position. Those type of basses always feel uncomfortable when playing on strap, to me, and your arm gets sore because the lack of an armcut. Something like Rob Allen does, just a little slope where your arm rests.

After hearing these on YouTube, I'm gonna get one!

My Hofner Icon has opened my mind to short-scale hollowbodies. It's hard to believe how much beef these lil' things throw down.
