Bill, what isn't the same is the phone calls I get wondering what to do to reduce the discomfort of playing a left handed guitar right handed, as your upper arm does battle with rows of switches and knobs. Can we move the electronics to the other side?
Oh, or how can I make it balance better? since the short horn is the strap anchor now - love those calls. So while to the guitar it's sort of the same, to me it's a world of difference. I'd rather just make a right handed guitar for right handed people and a left handed guitar for left handed people. It's sort of why we make custom guitars.
I simply see no benefit in fighting the nature of the instrument. If you play with it hanging left handed, and you learned upside down, then restringing right handed doesn't fight the nature of the bass.
It's sort of like trying to get a bright sound from a solid Koa Alembic bass. I'm sure some can do it, but it's really going against the instrument's warm nature. I suppose if you want a fight, you're free to do so.
I've been down this path before. And in my country you're still free to offer advice from experience.
