Congrats Chuck. You gonna string some rounds or flats on her?

I’m not sure, seeing how I’m more of a bass collector than a player I’m leaning toward flats as the round wounds probably do more fretboard damage. But if I can play this thing, (no frets is a little scary) I’ll try a few different strings and see which ones speak to me.

I bought it because it was a lefty EBMM, it was a gorgeous piece of wood and I don’t have a fretless. I’ll probably slide so much trombone players will get pissed. I’m a Jaco fan and always loved his sliding stuff; he was so accurate that most of the time you couldn’t tell it was a fretless. But I want to hear me some muhwah. :D

If Ive ever thought a bass was one peice, it would be that one.

Dangit, whyd they waste that nice peice of wood on a lefty? ......
Cuz there was a serious flaw right where the top horn should have been on a righty :) I understand that a desire to salvage a similar piece of one-piece-body wood was behind the accidental invention of the very first lefty ax ever built anywhere. Unfortunately, that particular wood conserving woodworking trainee was doubly dizlexic and so the knobs wound up on the back ....... Somehow they mated it to a neck that faced the other way, and that is how the original [righty] T-bird was born.
