New bass day, 1 slight problem

[pudgychef]

i dont think id be this relaxed about it if this happened last year with my bongo, i still have a musicman i can play at least.

no doubt...and getting upset (while justified) helps nothing..but MAN what a bummer brother! Sure is a looker....

Bummer, that's one sweet looking bass. I'm a lefty who plays right handed, i'm all screwed-up.

Than my son is screwed-up too he's lefty and plays right handed guitar!

Wow sorry to hear this - talk about deflated - hopefull S and T can sort something out quickly for you - nice looking SR5 is it trans orange?

Than my son is screwed-up too he's lefty and plays right handed guitar!

Mine too Keko - he is a bass player and has a lefty Ray, but I'm always infuriated/amazed to see him play one of my right hand basses and then play it as well if noit better than I can - he once used my SR5 in a local gig after breaking a couple of strings on his, and played Aeroplane, including the bass solo, totally correctly - he can do Les Claypool stuff on a right hander upside down - I really don't get it, and though I can play a lefty upside down, I can't do anything technical on it!

its a trans gold, but it does have a orange tint to it, to be honest that pic does it no justice at all its a damn fine looking beauty. i spoke to the shop today and strings and things had nothing in that i fancied, after paying so much money it needs to be bang on really, so looks like the long wait begins again.
i took another pic together with the bongo, i had to get a cloth and wipe away the drool haha.

That stinks! So sorry to hear that, and best of luck waiting for the wrong-handed version! ;-p

You know this might not be a completely valid solution, but my bass teacher's twin brother accidentally cut his left pinky off, and he learned to play the other way around, so there is always that...

Either way another gorgeous bass out there for a non-southpaw to enjoy.
