Title: Looking for lefty alembic bass. Open to whatever. Including best up, project, or even righties to flip, for the right price.

After the hell I went through this weekend worrying while getting my spoiler to and from the studio... Since I recently sold off two basses I think I should just get a backup for my spoiler.  
I'm looking for lefties. For the right prices though I'll look into beat up, project, or possibly even right handed epics or etc to flip or make into projects...  
 
less than 6 strings please.

As an Epic FIver caretaker, this sparks immediately a question on my mind. How do you flip a righthand Epic five into a Lefthand? Isn?t the Upper horn a little bit too big when switched lefty -and therefore uncomfortable when playing upper register-, or wouldn't the bass be left unbearably unbalanced if -May the Gods Forbid!- chopped so both horns are the same size?
