Don't know where all these came from but the seller always has nice basses. The lefty Rick 4000 sold was his too.

Whenever I see amazing basses like this pop up out of nowhere, all I can think is that a lefty bass player somewhere more than likely either got divorced, lost his job or died.

Oh, we've seen that Telecaster before. That's the one that was converted to a righty. :evil:

It's like cutting the horn off of a unicorn.

It was all going to be ok until he got drunk and busted out the sander......

Nothing irks me more than seeing a rare lefty butchered by some right handed idiot. News bulletin: The only guy who could get away with looking cool playing an upside down instrument was Hendrix - a LEFTY, BTW. You, on the other hand, look like a complete tool. (And when it is done by a lefty it's usually 'cause they can't find a left handed instrument, on account righty idiots like you have snatched them up for said butchering). You have your pick of ANY bass on the market, yet you insist on buying a lefty so you can destroy it? There should be a law in place outlawing any righty from purchasing a left handed instrument unless they intend to buy it for a lefty. :evil:

Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now and get back on my meds.

Obama has a hard time with guns in the US, imagine a law like the one you are proposing :shock:

I have that same Tele in mint condition if someone is interested. I don't know yet if I will be able to play bass again since my stroke :cry:

I can't believe he's asking $3500 for it in that condition. I'm looking for a Tele bass but not one that's been chopped. Too bad.

Thanks guys for your thoughts and prayers.

I didn't talk about it. It's been for 4 months since my avc. I can only look at my wall of bass so far.
