I guess I'm a sucker for any lefty bass that's somewhat interesting.
As noted elsewhere it's HEAVY. I THINK this could be the only long-scale bass I own with a 2-octave neck. The position of the neck pickup makes for an interesting tone, turning off the Tone and Bridge Volume makes for an almost Gibson-like tone. I dig it, its first gig tonight.

Congrats. I think for the money they're very decent and well made, and certainly more versatile than the more expensive Ampeg Dan Armstrongs. I see on ebay that they're now offering a lefty with a maple neck too.

Make sure you're fly is up while you're onstage or everyone will be able to see it thru the bass!

I had the Dillion Crystal series p-bass for a while. nice tone and weight was not too bad at all.

( meaning 11 lbs was not as bad as the 13lb Jackson Tbird I still have and the dozen or so 10lb poplar bodied units.)

Not a problem, I only played it for the last set which is only 45 minutes.

I note that ALB got around the whole "accidental fly-down" issue by wearing a long t-shirt... that's thinking ahead. :lol:
