Sweet looking bass, but I wonder why it was built left handed and strung right.  Perplexing . . .

I think it's the old lefty learning how to play on an upside down right handed instrument. I know a guitarist who learned to play this way. Makes for a devil of  time trying to read the chording hand. :-)

some lefty's learn to play upsidedown instead of restringing their (right handed) guitar or bass.
 
oh look, keith beat me too it.

Jimmy Haslip plays basses strung this way.  His popping technique is interesting...

Jason Smith in Hayseed Dixie also plays like this. His slap technique is unbelievable to watch.

Great looking bass. Congratulations !!!
 
Say, does any one here (besides Mike) get a slight sense of vertigo when you look at a left handed instrument....

Stoney; I'm always wanting to copy them to my desktop, open a graphics program and turn them around to where they look right.

As far as I'm concerned, All the righties somehow look much better to me when turned around!



 Bet you never knew he was a closet lefty! LOL P.S. Sorry Yaya for mutilating the Big Bass. I was trying to envison what my custom might look like (only in cocobolo of course) Mike

That's too funny!!! Those Spyders look like they could really hurt you....

I can't play the d*mn thing right-side up, nevermind strung upside-down, LOL!

SPyders are very comfortable to play upside down.  
THey balance well no matter what side is up;)
