    NBD: Schecter P5

    I bought a new Schecter Evil Twin last year. I had to wait 6 months for it to arrive from the manufacturer, but well worth the wait. Perhaps it received a little closer attention at the factory since it is a Left Hand version? I don't know, but it is a beautiful Bass, plays superbly (the guitar...

    Which phrase annoys you the most?

    Lots of completely inane garbage falls out everywhere these days. I have a job keeping up. My personal hated bass related one at the moment is: 'Hey, Groovehacker' Just writing it makes me cringe.

    Bands you have seen that you’ll never forget, but,,,,

    Motorhead. I saw their second ever performance at a small golf club hall in Leigh, a small village near Malvern, Worcestershire, England. it was so LOUD no-one in the audience survived being in the hall past the third song. The road crew refused to turn the volume down. It was painful to be in...

    NBD: Cort is kinda incredible now?

    I bought a Cort B4 LH a couple of years ago. It is well made, nice tone and plays well. Factory set up not the best, but spend a little time getting the action right and it is a nice little bass, and well done them making bass guitars for us lefties, that is more than some manufacturers can be...

    Should a left handed person learn to play right handed bass?

    I guess it is what feels natural? I write left handed, play bass left handed, shoot left handed etc. How would they naturally position their arms for playing? Playing a bass right handed would not feel natural to me. True, there is not much instructional material for lefties.

    THE LEFTY UNION: The Club for the Left-Handed... Returns!

    I agree, I am a despicable wretch of the lowest scale(s) and being left handed, I am of course, the spawn of the devil himself, which I assume is why it is difficult to buy a left handed bass guitar, and why some manufacturers won't/don't make them. (as an aside - I remember 30 years ago a L/H...

    Signature Bass Syndrome - Is Simply Idolatry?

    I voted no opinion either way. But being left handed it is kind of immaterial anyway :) Left Handed Geddy Lee Signature Bass anyone?:D

    Why do some sellers blackout serial number?

    Sorry, this is off subject, but - UK is camera mad - There is a system called ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) allowing Cameras on Motorways (Freeways) in police cars and city centres to automatically read your number plate and tell if the car is taxed, insured and tested by being...

    Why do some sellers blackout serial number?

    It is a huge problem in the UK. Criminals see the make /model/colour of your car on a photo, and clone your plates, and put them on their stolen car of the same make, model and colour. They are then able to drive off without paying for petrol (oops! sorry - gasoline), used for robberies, drug...
