The Last Bass Outpost

ya it could have been repainted and they just sanded off the stickers....who knows?... 

I hope one of the folks here has seen that knob and chrome config before ( especially if they owned one ) ---

kee-rist, am I the only leftyBird player besides PBROCKER56 who is a member of this board? 

forget about the people who do play REAL lefty Grecko/TokaiBirds, or flippers like myself for the righty versions but I meant MEMBERS on this board.

come out come out wherever you are

Nice, I really dig that tune. Now, I'm just waiting for some Louis Prima stuff to turn up from you! Come on, Jump, jive, and wail!!!

now your REALLY talking 30's music My biggest factor is no fretless, no upright, so it will never sound authentic ---so all I can promise is that if I do it, it will be "note" correct ( or at least as long as I can HEAR the bassline ) clearly under all the other junk in there.

30's-40's music is so....so......so..... walking bass line-ish ( but at least the chord structuring is consistent )

I was wondering, has not having position markers on the neck been any trouble for you?

a lot of difficulty in the beginning, but that was so long ago....I liked the reverse triangles the best, cause I could see the wide edge of them perfectly with a little tilt of the neck here and there, the dots can be more of a challenge, but like I said...that was years ago.

one more "lefty playing a tbird video" for the "OLDER" gang here at TLBO: this one was taken from the Abbot and Costello movie with the Andrews Sisters singing it. The Jackson is the FARTHEST thing from sounding like an upright bass, but who cares....the notes are correct

I'm sure it would surprise the people I play with, thats for sure. I wouldn't mind adding it to my small collection, but like you said, its a tad too pricey. I never knew Charvel even made lefties until I saw your white one.

I usually play through a Kustom 2x15, as the 20watt is only for bedroom practice. It's loud enough to shake the room so it works. I'm saving up for a 4x10 over the summer, so I'm hoping for something different from the boom of the 2x15.

Here is another video. Decided to do something ska (something I rarely play).

your good, and all your vids have comments turned off, so I cant post there, so I'll say it here, and that is......

 lefty-righty-inverted whatever, your good, and you should show it to the world --- -heck ya, play your favorites.

Did that Charvel come in yet?

And, for the absolute hell of it, and for no reason other than to make a fool of myself, I present to you, me playing on my Epi Thunderbird, converted for pure lefty usage. Enjoy (or don't).
One of my most favorite songs to play on bass, I find it so fun to play.
and I'm playing through a small Ibanez 20 watt practice amp, so it won't sound all that great compared to what I'm used to.

haha that epi sounds just like mine, and that was really good, and I also have played many WHO jams in the day including Substitute
why you would think we would laugh at that is crazy. if your that good on that song, your just as good on many others i assume and you should be proud of that and post videos all over youtube!!!!

there's STILL a shortage of GOOD lefty players compared to the righthanders

and yes I did get the thing, the setup was still good from the music store that must have had it sitting near a window on display forever because the pearlwhite color is beautifully sun-aged, and looks very nice.

this one will stay strung up E on top until I get a righthanded reversed headstock neck as a spare so the headstock is in the correct position still, and if I sell it I can put it back the way it was.

to show some people I also play E on top and not JUST inverted strings,
I'm playing it YOUR way --- E on top 

then I wil ltake some pictures playing it with the G string on top (I like g strings on top ) I got a couple of basses still strung that way. I used both ways at home but live only with the E on top. Just to make sure I'm not confused in the heat of a gig

I only have ONE bass I play with the E on top right now that is a POS, and like you I LOVE to play both ways, just to mess with people's heads, but for me, I have played G on top for many, many years, so I play like that on stage and in the jamrooms.

I have a ton of charvel rightys but FINALLY, FINALLY found a lefty version, and hopefully it will arrive safe and sound in a few more days



I may put one of my other necks on it so the body is correct, but the strings will still be G on top.
