Nice basses.  I'm hoping to have my Scroll bass by the end of the month.

Hello. My name is John, and I am left-handed.

A few years ago with the Model 1 NR Bird:



And this past weekend, give a camera to a random person and the results might not be the best:



And as a teenager (1969-70) playing my SG-Jr. that had already had the headstock broke. (Yea, that is a Vox Ac-100 behind me. It later suffered a violent allergic reaction to cold beer.)

I'm lefty, but I play right-handed. Kind of a southpaw traitor.

Left-handism is overtaking us!!! They must have all been hiding under some stone before ...

I am left handed. When I started playing bass, I started lefty. When went to buy a bass I found lefty basses hard to find and expensive, so I switched to righty.

When I was a teen I had a set of lefty golf clubs, after years of not golfing I got invited to a golf outing. Had to rent clubs, they were righty of course. I didn't embarass myself too badly that day.

I find that impressive, I'm already uncoordinated with one hand, let alone two!

Me too!  I liked exiled's term - "southpaw traitor"  ;D

I switched after I noticed everyone else playing "the other way" (I was around 10), and just got used to it.  Can't play left handed now to save my life.

@godofthunder  - the pick up in the musicmaster bass isn't a EB-0 pickup but an telecaster bass pick-up I removed it because I didn't like the sound of it. It now has an GFS lipstick humbuckers, variotone, coil split, fase in out, serial/parallel, and a bypass switch for the variotone.



And I don't like to be cured off my leftyness, leave me that way.

All that chrome I presumed it was a mudbucker ! Still a cool bass !
