Wanted: 4-string lefty headless bass, not named "Spirit"

[eobard]

... although Paulo's white XT2 Spirit was sweet as all hell!
Slim pickin's for a lefty bass as it is, let alone a lefty headless bass...

Anyone? Anyone?

- Thanks!
Merrill

Hey Merrill how about this one??

If that's what you mean by not "Spirit", let me know and I'll forward you an email address where you can find this, just tell Paulo sent you!

When you say you don't want a Sprit, do you mean you are looking for a composite bass instead of wood? Or do you not want that body style and you're looking for something like a Kiesel?

Whoa! Is that a Zon VB? I was just looking at them online this morning...!
Yes, if you can fwd the address, it'd be awesome.

I meant that I wasn't necessarily interested in a Steinberger "Spirit," as I already own a few of those (unless it was the XT2 white lefty, as Paulo offered a few weeks back). But yeah, my first choice would be composite / graphite, but as those are pretty rare as it is, esp in a left-handed model, I am open to all wood as well. I'm always interested in headless basses, regardless of body style.

The bottom line is, if its a lefty headless, then you've piqued my interest!

There's also this one, I've sent you the link for this as well.
But it's a 5er.

Someone in France is selling this one, but I think it's wickedly overpriced for what it is. It has a modified Yamaha BB405 neck with a custom body and although it looks cool, the starting point comes from an affordable entry level instrument.

You may wanna look into Roscoe as well.

Forgot to mention these. I dig the look/price, but have no experience with one. I do own a SX Ursa 6 string bass that I installed an Audere preamp into that plays/sound fantastic though:

Had a Hohner B2A 4-string (active EQ) back in the 90's that I bought brand new - it got stolen. Eventually bought a Spirit 4-string (passive), didn't care for it, so sold it. Bought a Hohner B2A (active EQ) 5-string back in 2015. Had to replace the knee-rest, bought it's in good shape. The only think I don't care for is the strings that are currently on it - they have too much tension for my taste. Haven't gotten around to it yet, but I plan on changing the strings to the lightest gauge I can find...

The way the bass hangs on the body is always a challenge, as the 1st-fret area is much farther away from the normal position of a typical bass body/neck "hang". It is a great travel bass though, and why I bought it. Jury's still out on if I keep it, bought I "just like it", and they seem to be becoming more rare these days...
