Agent 00Soul

I realize I'm late here, but I wanted to confirm what Pineweasel said. I bought two Hiscox standard cases and they fit my lefties fine. They really are as strong as they advertise. My bases just spent 6 weeks on a container ship and two moving trucks and they - the cases and the basses - were completely undamaged.

Agh - Jack, where were you a decade ago?? I would have jumped all over it then when I was touring and recording a lot.

I'm sure you all know this, but leftybassist.com has had tons of reviews over the years specifically about models made for those of us born with that recessive gene. And on the subject of Macca's Gaskill above, Slovakian company Bach produced a run of lefty non-reverse Thunderbirds about a decade ago that have been nicknamed Bachbirds. There are reviews of those on leftybassist.com also.

A blast from my past in Soundpool: 2010 was soooo groovy! "Kite of Love" - music vid "But It's So" live - shot by an audience member but pointed at the bass by chance

Great article. Quick, un-official, visa-less gigs in Canada and the EU (when the UK was a member) were incredibly stressful for me as a US citizen. I was terrified I would be caught and banned from visiting. It wasn't worth it.
