Congrats on your instrument. Don't ya just love playing a bass? I had a "beater" for a while, played it lefthanded and it was not set up for a lefty. I changed the strings but sound post was never moved. I finally went to Upton Bass in Mystic Connecticut and got a beautiful blonde model built left handed from the git go. I absolutely love the sound of the instrument but it is a 4/4 and I really wish I had gotten a 3/4 or 7/8. It is a beast, but sounds terrific.
