Lefty bass club

I'm assuming that this is the right place to post this, so... here goes... I have a new-ish Schecter Stiletto Studio 4FL, that came to me with the bridge - and the rest of the bass - set up pretty much like I prefer. Plenty good enough to just break it's EB Group IV Flats in, anyway. Even the...

I have a lefty 73 Rick 4001, and I'm in a bit of a quandary. The bass still has it's "Wavy" Grover tuners, and I'm wondering if they aren't the problem - or if it's the strings... The tuners seem to be in excellent shape, and have always worked very well with whatever strings I've put on the...

Without really meaning to, I'm now the owner of two basses with Guild BS-1 pickups. A Guild Starfire I, and a really nice Serek Sacramento. I mean, I really wanted the basses, but never gave a thought to the pickups. I really like these pickups (and, the basses too - naturally). There's no...

About a week ago, I had a brain fart; lost control - and bought another bass. I thought this was behind me; I filled the last open spot in my herd last April. I didn't need another one. Especially a medium scale, fretless bass. No spot - ever - for either one of those in my herd. But, she's a...

NBD at my house; a left handed, 32" scale Canadian - made Fury fretless bass. My first fretless, and my first medium scale bass. But, the strings it's wearing have me stumped. What I know; - Black, coated with something. Gauge is way too small for tape wounds; - Black silk at both ends; -Brass...

Late last year, I bought a late 1980's, left handed Tokai TB 48 Thunderbird. Usually, left handed stuff costs a bit more than the right handed version; most lefty players are very familiar with the "Lefty Surcharge". This one, however, was listed on Reverb for a fair bit less than a righty...

I have one of the old, black-sided MIK Rogue VB-100 violin basses, bought used many years ago - without a case. Since all 26 of my other basses have at least a good soft sided case, I'd like this bass - one of the 2 I play most often - to have a case, too. So... Does anyone know if the case for...

Epiphone finally seems to have realized that some of us are left handed. They've made some lefty JCB's; and I have one.:thumbsup: It's a nice bass, and I'm quite pleased with it; but, I'm... puzzled... by the factory strings. I bought it from Sweetwater; and according to their website, all the...

After having done what most people would consider a decent amount of searching... I can't find a single thing regarding these strings. Not a peep... The closest I can come to their flats is a review of the flat wound guitar strings - which seem pretty nice, and I might try them sometime. On a...

I bought a new Hofner HI Series Beatle Bass today, and the strings on it have me puzzled. Why? - They're flatwounds. Near as I can remember, every new Hofner I've ever had in my hands - even the German ones - had rounds from the factory. I'm not complaining - I like flats - but, I'm puzzled (or...

I received a set of the Dogal short scale R45 flat wounds a couple of weeks ago. I was going to put them on this 30" scale Warmoth Mini-Precision bass. But... they're too short. They don't begin to reach the G string tuner, and I'd get maybe two thirds of a wind on the D string tuner...

I got a set of short scale La Bella 760FM-S strings in the mail today. They'd been back-ordered for a couple of months, and... I had just forgotten about them. Specifically, I forgot why on Earth I bought them. 49-109 is a rather large gauge for short scales; even larger than the 45-100/105s I...

Several recent threads about "how many basses" and "why do you have what you have" got me thinking about the unfilled spots in my herd. One of them is "Long Scale Set Neck", and it's been empty for a long time. Pretty easy spot to fill if you're a righty, but I'm not a righty. However... the...

c I've put it off as long as I can, but... My '73 4001 has got to have some major work done. It's developed Negative Neck Angle to the point that I can't lower the bridge any more for good string height. It's... playable, but not for much longer. So, off to a Rick specialist it goes. And...

I'll say right up front : I'm am not disagreeing with the moderator's action in any way, shape, or form, when he shut the aforementioned thread down. I am curious about one thing though... Is this the record for "Shortest Thread Before Shutdown"? 'Cause I can't remember one that only lasted 3...

Talking to a friend of mine today, and we were trying to figure out what kind of flat wound strings the tech at Ed Roman's old store put on his new-at-the-time Dean bass. John bought the thing about 8 or 9 years ago; I was with him when he did, but I can't remember what kind of flats they were...

I had a scary, surreal experience last night, and I'm wondering if anybody else has had it, too... I was messing around on my computer at home last night, fat, dumb, and happy, when: - the game screen I was on disappeared; - my desktop screen appeared for about 1/2 a second, then disappeared; -...

Didn't think I would ever have to ask this question, but... I've done my due diligence re the Search function, and... I'm stumped. I have a headless Kramer "The Duke". It most definitely uses short scale strings. They aren't by any means original (bass was made in '82), but they are a few years...

I figured this might be the best forum for the question, so here it is. How much of a Fender bass has to be left, to still be considered a "REAL" Fender bass? Or, conversely, how many Fender parts do you have to use to build a "Real" Fender bass? And I realize that in the latter case, there's...

I have a question about these basses, and can't seem to find an answer. I'm a lefty, and I really want a long scale hollow body bass. Question is; is a Star Bass II a true hollow body, or is it a semi-hollow, with a tone block up the middle? :)

I got this '13 T-bird last Christmas time, and I've been playing it with the stock Gibson strings up to now. I have a box full of different strings I could put on it-including the DRs and GHS' that most everybody says a 'Bird should wear- but, I LIKE the Gibson strings :jawdrop:. And Gibson...
