"Left-Brained Bass Brethren Unite!!!"
Great site Arni, dont' feel so upside-down and alone
anymore!!!

When I started playing as a teenager, I picked up an old right-handed Silvertone 6-string electric and taught myself to play some rudimentary stuff. (probably closer to RUDE-imentary) Not too long after, I learned that I was (unknowingly) holding the damned thing upside-down........ignorance is bliss, I guess....... I was always really surprised at the
reaction I got from others - "Wow, how the hell do you do that?!?!?!" Soon after, I picked up my first bass nd since then I have never looked back. Still, to this day, I get the same "Hey, Wow" reaction!!! I am currently playing for "Pink Voyd" a Pink Floyd tribute band based out of Boston MA. I play Lefty Fenders strung right-handed thru Ampeg amplification.

I do have my eye on a Lefty Ernie Ball Stingray (stratus blue sparkle w/matching headstock would make me very
happy, yes please) Do any of my Lefty brothers or sisters have any experience with "Orange Bass Amplification Systems" ???

If so, drop me a line and share your opinion of them w/me as I am thinking of trying one out.

Thanks again
