[plop]

Hello fellow lefties,
It's here, its born!
My first custom bass/guiiiitar.
I was looking for a lefty bass VI for a band I'm in.
It needs more "Cordy" bass lines so.....
Damn Im Happy!!

[Matt R.]

Awesome

[Basshappi]

She's a real beauty, congrats!

That looks great!

Great! Reminds me of Elvis Costello's walnut stained Jazzmaster.

[Frenchy-Lefty]

This walnut finish gives such a cool retro vibe without falling into the "distressed" pitfall. Very well done!

[AustinLeftyBass]

Nice!
I'd been playing 6-string basses since getting my first, a Jerry Jones Longhorn Bass VI, in 1990, and I was desperate enough for a lefty to consider a custom build. Luckily I found my Schecter Hellcat VI.

Thanks Guys!!!
Yes, the Elvis Costello Jazzmaster was a hint I gave the Luthier!
That Jazzmaster has always been my dream jazzmaster, look wise.
The only thing I liked less about the Elvis costello Jazzmaster was the not matching headstock.
Soo.....!!

About the distressed part. This Luthier is a Relic masterand asked me if he needed to Relic the bass.
Id rather Relic it myself in the upcoming years so this is actually his first non Relic bass/guitar.

This is his site by the way. http://www.guitarlounge.nl/

Yes, the Schecter Hellcat VI!! I concidered buying it. Nice, nice ,nice!!!!

Thanks again guys for the nice comments! PeAcE!!

[Agent00Soul]

Your aim was true!

[Jeroen]

Beautiful! Angelo does awesome work
Where did you / he find a lefty Jazzmaster tremolo? Or is it a conversion?

[plop]

Hoi Jeroen,

Indeed, he adapted a right handed Tremsystem to a lefty one. He wasnt able to find a lefty one.
Me neither.
Turns out the litlle pipe where the tremelo goes in is screwed onto that bottom plate.
I always thought it was welded. So I guess it was a pretty easy conversion.
And its steady! I think the tuners are Tone-pro tuners?!??!?
Anyway, after a descent Sonicyouth session its still in tune!

Yes, Angelo makes nice stuff! And he's a friendly guy. And relativly cheap knowing he made
every part from scratch. And handwounded pickups!.
Get yours today before he gets more expensive!! hahaha
