ya, sometimes I get lost in the sea of righthanders playing "insert your bass brand here" threads, but being the minority over there playing lefty,playing inverted, AND using Jackson guitars, I get to see the bias against me ( OH THE THRILL OF IT ALL )
Tbird1958 turned me on to this board, and since then, I have met some more friends, some great discussions, and some awesome bass porn to check out--AND another outlet to show off a few videos to those who generally don't see people flipping guitars too often..... just out of curiosity since your already a lefty, did you ever try playing inverted on someones righty bass?
anyway....., in order to provide you with a proper welcome, here's a jam that many hundreds of people heard while walking onto center stage for almost 30 years, and this jam is to welcome you to the LastBassOutpost center stage, and hope you stick around for a while and contribute your experiences playing a birdFlipped. ( I don't have the sheetmusic for that jam, so I just followed the chord changes and winged it )
I've never been welcomed with the tonight show theme before, I feel honored
Thank you good sir. I am amazed at your ability to play with the strings strung righty.
To answer your question, yes, I've attempted to play righty, a righty upside-down as a lefty, and a pure lefty bass. I just felt better about playing lefty. I can play really simple lines on a righty upside-down, but nothing too complicated or with too much moving around.
Perhaps someday I'll post a video of my own playing, but alas, I am too shy with my abilities.
But yeah, talkbass was great, but after reading over there for 3 years, I feel like I'm just reading the same things over and over again, and there is so many people, you don't ever get to know anyone personally. I already feel like part of a tight knit group here. I look forward to posting more.
