I am a lefty that plays righty. My right hand technique isn't horrible, but I lack the dexterity. I'm considering picking up a lefty bass to see if it'll work the other way around.

Novel Idea, being able to play lefty and righty. Anyone else ever try?

Seen some Sir Paul wannabes doing it.

I'm also a lefty that plays righty... (this came up while looking for my club thread!)

There is a lot of us on tb, try your questions there! Can't help you though, my right hand dexterity isn't the best either.

Re: Sir Paul wannabes

Saw a Beatles tribute band once and the "Paul" played the viola bass left handed. Didn't look quite natural but it was very effective. He then played, Yesterday, solo and switched to his natural, I think, RH playing. I was impressed.
