Gibson is making lefty basses in 2014 again, including the Thunderbird in natural finish (which I want).

Wow - that is exciting news! Has this been confirmed? I know Gibson doesn't put all of its models on its website - but they must make announcements for these right?

Gibson Basses / Lefty Gibsons in Europe?
December 16, 2013, 01:17:36 AM
Hi,
As promised my first question in the gibby forums!

I recently started a band where i switched my bass for guitar and the current bassplayer allways looked up to my Thunderbird and my RD..
He currently plays an old squier and is on the look out for a new bass. He asked me to help him, cause he really like the Thunderbirds...
Unfortantly for him.. he's a left hand player! I been searching on all the major online stores - it's allready a wonder they are selling righthanded.. but lefty's? Haven't found any. Are they even being made new? Or are they all custom orders or rebuilds? Do i have to watch all the evilbays to find one?

Hi all! As you can see i'm very new to this forum. There was a time, must been over 6 years ago, when I spend a lot of time on forums like these.
Doesn't really matter anymore what forums - but I made some friends there and got lots of good info.
Eversince one of those forums got down (and me changing jobs) I kinda fell out of the online community.

A couple of months ago - I started having these questions again... especially regarding to "Gibson basses", and instead of putting that in my google search string, I simply searched for "Gibson UWE" and found this forum! Uwe must be the single most person i never met that knows so much about the Gibson bass guitar. So thank god I find you again! Be aware tho, i'm gonna post my first question(s) soon in the Gibby forum ;)

Kind Regards all!
Tom
