| | | | I play a right handed bass flipped over. That's how I've played guitar for years so did the same on bass. |

I have cerebral palsy which affects my right side more than my left side. so when my parents went guitar shopping years ago they got me a right handed guitar thinking that I'd have an easier time fretting with my left hand since it is my better hand.

IMO the fretting fingers do more work, and you don't even need the right if you can tap. Which I can. I think if I bought a "lefty" bass my playing would've been crap too, as my right hand is nowhere near as strong. Not to mention it's much cheaper to find a bass, especially since I can only afford used gear.

| | | | I do, it was out of necessity because all my friends when I started bass were right handed so I played their guitars/basses. My teacher he is left handed and plays left was surprised on our first lesson

Plus it puts my dominant hand on the fretboard, works out for me. |

| | | | I am a lefty, but I always felt playing righty was far more comfortable.

The dominant hand seems to have a lot more dexterity on the fretboard. I tell you though...I am having trouble mastering the wooten thumb stuff. I think it is because my right hand is sling blade compared to my left haha.
