Appreciated. I can hold it steady with my left arm. With enough time, effort, and practice, I may learn how to use my left hand more ‍♂️ Anything is possible.

It seems to me that although you are fine with personal choice to the contrary, you are against modifying a right (flipping the strings) and are for adapting to play a right, even if that results in learning the strings upside down. For learning, construction of the bass etc. Am I right?

If I'm correct you're opinion is to learn flipped upside down including the strings?

I don't have any plans at this point so no idea, but thanks!

I am indeed. On a regular bass guitar is my goal though. I can play trumpet, but don't love horns.

If I'm reading you correctly, you're advicating playing a rarer lefty bass with the string restrung upside-down so rights flipped would be playable? I realize that it might be more ergonomic but otherwise why not just play on a right? And Bill Clements! One of the reasons I'm even going to try.

Just to clarify are you saying you play and may suggest taking a righy and turning it upside-down and restringing it or turning it upside-down fully as is and learning the strings upside down?

I'm not sure what difference that would make though. Could you tell me?

Similar to my third option if I'm reading right. Playing a standard as normal but reach across to the neck? Plucking might be interesting in that position though.

I'm unfortunately one to collect. Leftys are also more expensive.

Could you clarify a bit? My right hand is my fully functioning hand. How would tab still make sense if restrung?

I have no decisions made. Bass was recommended to me because it's less based on chords. The chances of having to borrow a lefty is...low I'm going to guess. I'm the kind who goes in for collections as well so limited lefty options would suck.

Is this a right bass restrung or just flipped?

By flipped as well do you mean take a right and flip it upside-down as is, and learn with or flip it and restring it?

Hi, I'm learning one handed (right). I'm trying to decide whether to play a lefty or right flipped upside-down. Pros of the flipped? A lot more choice when buying guitars, can play when I don't have my lefty with people. Cons: I'm learning upside-down. Learning materials won't match. Left...
