Bobo_Grimmer Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hey, I've been away from a pc for some time this month and finally have an afternoon where i was able to get on one so i thought i'd share something with you guys.... For years as a left handed bass player i've seen, gigged with and had the joy of listening to upright players always thinking to myself that it's such a shame i can't play right handed. Well last month i found out, thanks to BC yet again, that inface you can get lefty EUB's!!! So i've invested some money in a NS NXT 5 LH AB. Here's a couple of pictures i took briefly at my dad's, where i had it delivered, and after a gig i popped over to un box it and squeel like a girl at it. ^_^ http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm185/Shawn_Grimmer/Left%20handed%20EUB%20NS%20Design%20NXT%205%20AB/ So far, over the short time i've had between gigs to play it, i'm enjoying it very much. I love the tone and the different playing style. I'm very much looking forward to integrating it into our sets and writing on it. Oh and i haven't told the band/bands that i have it. i'm going to just turn up with it in a couple of weeks and surprise them all. Anyhoo i won't take up any more of your time. Just thought i'd share. Peace, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
