Other than the control plate issue how much did building a '54 P/Tele bass cost Peter? Seems like there's a demand for such a bass among lefties. It and the T-Bird are the two basses mentioned most as wishing a lefty version existed. |

This is going back a few years ago, but I tallied up the charges to be under $900. |

A Ripper would be my first choice but I like the sound of all three. |

I wish they had offered the RD Artist lefty. I had one, it was my first quality bass. The tone was amazing. Heavy, heavy bass though,all maple and ebony, mine weighed almost 14lbs! I traded it for my first true lefthanded bass, my '75 Precision. |

I wish Sadowsky made its Metro line for lefties, because then I'd have a better shot at being able to afford one. |

I wish a Telecaster II bass (or reissue), but i'd like to own also an American Vintage (57 and/or 62) or simply a Classic 50 mex. |

Agree about the SCPB and 70's Tele basses I've always loved them and was disappointed when the Squire model wasn't offered lefty. I think that a 70's Tele style using a Darkstar pup would be tremendously cool!

Gibson RD. I'd kill for one.  I'd also kill for a white one, eventhough this isn't the RD you get the point.  Lefty ATK's are impossible to come by (wouldn't necessarily kill for one) , part from the butt ugly slipknot version. |

No need for a lefty ATK - that's what a Stingray is for.

Zimmy, have you seen the First Act Delgada bass that looks pretty RD-ish? They will do a lefty version of it. http://www.firstact.com/Products/Limite ... _bass.aspx Also, talk to Rod (Rodent) here in the Blueprinting+Bondo forum, he could probably put together a pretty sweet RD-ish style bass for you. |

Wow! That First Act Delgada looks great. Never seen that before. What a weird company they are. I though they only made cheapo toys and instruments for starters (I always see their stuff at Toys R Us). Andrew, where'd you hear that they're making lefties? And how much are they? |

I want a Delgada now..  but I've filled up my bass quota, for the time being. Thanks for the info. |

pjmuck wrote: Andrew, where'd you hear that they're making lefties? And how much are they? Hey Peter, I spoke to them directly and they said they'd make a lefty Delgada. They aren't cheap though, their pricing is all mid level cost range. the bass was $1500-ish in price, after the $200 upcharge for being lefty (booo!), so not terrible. Scroll through their gallery, they have a few different bass designs not shown in their regular line. |

I too would love a lefty Thunderbird, I've even chased after the Tokai version of it but to no avail. One day maybe it'll happen. |
