Fancy a left handed bass which really deviates from the norm? The Stash Stainless is the only bass guitar that is made from stainless steel with unified frets and a tubular neck.

Typical – a severe drought of left handed Firebirds and then two come along at once! Gibson recently offered the Firebird V 2010 in a left handed model, and now it looks like Elliot Easton is working hard to bring us another!
