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.

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.

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