Discover our left handed RK bass kit in ash, specially crafted for lefty players who want to build a Rick-style instrument from the ground up. With top-quality materials and components, this diy bass guitar kit gives you everything you need to assemble a high-performance bass, in a true left-handed orientation.

Bass Build Levels and Challenges

This left handed Rickenbacker bass DIY kit suits intermediate builders, thanks to its more advanced painting, assembly, and setup requirements. The ash body is highly porous and needs at least two coats of grain filler to achieve a smooth finish, while the intricate curves demand careful attention to avoid paint drips.

Assembly is more complex than a bolt-on design, as the RK features a set-in neck that must be perfectly aligned, checked for scale length and string action, and glued in place, an irreversible step. The hard ash wood also requires pre-drilling before screwing.

Wiring is made easy with a solderless system, and while the bridge must be accurately positioned, the process remains approachable. For sound and playability, the non-removable neck emphasizes the importance of accurate preparation, but the high-mass bridge provides full adjustability for intonation and string height, the nut is easily replaceable, and the lack of neck inclination helps streamline the string action setup.

Key Features

  • Body: Solid ash for durability and resonance.
  • Neck: Canadian maple with Rosewood fretboard and white trapeze inlays.
  • Hardware: Chrome bass hardware, including pre-wired components and a white pickguard.

This lefty RK bass kit comes with white binding on the body and neck, for a classic vintage look. Explore more options across our diy guitar kits range, or browse the full left handed guitar kit selection for southpaw builders.
