Three lefties and one "Diva"! Gerald Marleaux is a lefty as well, but a righthand bassplayer! |
Thuesday, 23.05.2013
Wow, what a day! This day was only made for lefties. Hubert Döring, a good friend from the north of Germany, got his custom made bass Diva bass, handvrafted by Gerald Marleaux. It´s a realy beautyfull bass and it´s fantastic sounding. Hubert got this bass direktly from Gerald Marleaux and of course, I must be a witness for such an event. So I drove to the lovely city Clausthal-Zellerfeld / Germany. This was the beginning of a private Lefty Bass Day! |

Sorry for my long silence at the Frankfurt Musikmesse, but what I have seen there has make me speechless. It was a disappointing to see so less lefthand basses there. But first I want to show you the models that were exhibited there for us. Thanks to these exhibitors. |

The Fender company for the first time showed no bass left-handed!
Likewise, the german company Sandberg, who have always presented basses for us left
past years! Why? Warwick was not even represented at Musikmesse! The Frankfurt Musikmesse is a disappointment for all left-handers.
I also have the impression that this year, many exhibitors at the fair stayed away.
The reasons for this are not known to me. |

Dear lefty friends,
welcome to another update. I hope you all are doing well and this year will start for our success.
I will go to the Frankfurt Musikmesse this year and hope to post some highlights on this website. I will be there on April, 11th and hope to meet friends. Let me know if you will be there.
I´m glad to tell you that the intrest in our website seams to be unbroken. Although many websites for lefties are available on the net, but most of them are commercial website. Maybe that´s the reason.
So I´m very glad to welcome new friends and lefties from all
over this world who joined The Lefthand Bassplayer Community.
Please welcome:
