its true. if you want to smooth out your basslines or work on fast string switching listen to the likes of Catch 22 or Streetlight Manifesto or the phat bass lines of Horace Panter of The Specials. Ska can help your playing in many ways. |

Pretty versatile basses, there's a local ska punk band around here that uses a lefty DC strung right handed (Fat Mike must have bought most of the right handed ones!) , and they get a really sharp growl from it!
