Okay, I'm a newbie. Been playing bass for 1.5 years. I have the bass capabilities of Pete Wentz. (he's not very good). I'm currently playing a Dean Edge 09 left hander. I want a new bass. I have two options in my price range. two it sucks being a lefty. Said basses being a squier vintage mod. 1970's j bass, or the fender fsr j bass. I'd love a p bass but the only lefty p bass squier (fender's way to expensive. lefty p basses start at 1,000) sells has been discontinued. Once again, sucks being left handed. My other option is putting in some p and j pickups, but that would require drilling into the bass because I just have one soapbar pickup. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Welcome to the Forum BR95, your dilemma has turned to your advantage. A Jazz bass is the very best bass guitar. The Precision bass would be the best, IMHO YMMV. Are you trading the Dean? Let us know what you decide, the Dean is a good bass guitar, SD might make a Quarter Pound soapbar pickup which would have you sounding more like the capable bass guitarist that you mentioned
