I'm not used to seeing those tuners on a '76, but it makes sense as it probably took longer to use up the lefty parts.

It is a coveted and very desireable bass for a lefty. You would have to get a custom shop bass to get the 70's bridge pickup position, the maple neck, the ash body and nothing can replace the cool mojo of this bass. I won't be surprised if it ends up betweeen $1,800 and $2,200. If you are right-handed you can always get a 1975 reissue or a Marcus Miller. A new Lefty Japanese 1975 reissue goes for $1,300 and does not have the 70's bridge pickup position.
