How Much Would It Cost to Have a Body Made?

Post by Ronin614 »

This is a somewhat crazy idea, but possibly doable…maybe

I have a line on a relatively well priced (currently asking $1700 US, but I think I can get it for $1500) Zon ZB5 headless right handed bass. I play left handed inverted (B string on the bottom), so if the body and reassembly wouldn’t be too cost prohibitive, I could own a lefty ZB5.

Any thoughts?

Michael Dolan Guitars out of California will build you a bass body. Give him a call and ask!
