JJ Burnell,and I'm frankly surprised only 2 other people have said the same.

All the songs my current band do are in the same key anyway,so I'd bash out an E chord.Works every time.

And you could sleep in it to save money on hotels.

[quote name='Minky' post='787802' date='Mar 27 2010, 01:58 PM']I've found it quite exciting being a left handed bassist. There's always that initial sense of anticipation when you walk into a guitar shop. Two things usually tend to happen 1) You ogle at the beautiful selection of RH basses then leave quietly 2) there happen to be a few left handers but they're not worth the wood they've been made. There is the odd ocassion that you spot a top class LH bass but it's usually grossly overpriced. Still exciting times though.[/quote] Indeed.And very occasionally walk in,spy the solitary L/H bass hanging up covered in dust,say"you've had that a while,how much do you want for it?" and walk out with a bargain.

Selling my Selmer Zodiac 100w to get an HH VS Musician.I've never parted with a bass,though I was thinking about thinning out the collection,I've never really used the LH 1962 Burns Sonic or the Shergold,but after having read this thread I'm not so sure I should part with them..

Sterling has a smaller body than the Stingray,1" narrower and 1" shorter,the Stingray has 21 frets as opposed to the Sterlings 22,and the neck on the Sterling is 1/8" narrower at the nut.

Contact the buyer and ask if they want it autographed...

I play left handed,although I'm not actually left handed.I simply can't physically hold,let alone play a right handed instrument,no idea why.Not that this is relevant to the issue in question.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='781603' date='Mar 21 2010, 12:53 PM']According to [url="http://sebastian.virtuozzo.co.nz/gitbox/wiki/index.php/FentonWeill"]this site[/url] it's a Fenton-Weill RP1/B bass (scroll down the page to the second to last photo) It has the same 2+2 headstock.[/quote] Indeed it is! That's one I've never seen before.

Nothing new there....

I forgot the Big Muff..

Shoot them? Video the gig and show them,worked for my last band.Guitarists invairiably have to tune up on stage more than bassists,but it is indeed a good way of losing the impetus of the set.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='781394' date='Mar 21 2010, 09:29 AM']It's a Fenton Weill - one of the pioneers of British guitars.[/quote] I'm not so sure it is,certainly resembles a Fenton Weill Contra Bass,but they had 4 in a line P bass style headstocks?

If I wasn't cursed with having to play left handed then I'd go for an Epihone EB3 as well.

If you're looking at 500 seat venues,you'll be looking at around a 5k rig.Stick a 0 on the end of your £700....

SVT 1540 HE.

I used plastic wood when I defretted my Columbus P bass,though if you leave the gaps empty for long enough I'm sure they'll fill up with dirt.

In no particular order - 1962 Burns Sonic short scale 1981 Shergold Marathon 1970's Columbus P bass (defretted) 1978 Fender P 1979 Fender P Tokai '62 P bass Tokai Thunderbird All lefties. Peavey Mk.6 400w 2 1x15 cabs Ampeg SVT 2 P preamp 1970's Marshall 1x18 Hiwatt 15w practice amp Zoom 1201 rack Zoom 4040 multi fx Ibanez fl9 flanger Strings of choice Daddario or DR Black Beauties if I can afford them. And Brown Herco plectrums.

Afternoon.Just started playing again after a few years sound engineering,thought I'd join the fun.I've got a big kit list if anyone's interested,currently using a Tokai Thunderbird and a 78 Precision through a Peavey mk.6 stack.Any other lefties here? I am quite old.
