left handed bass players.

I've also created a way similar to the way haslip slapped. My requires more wrist work though. It took a while To get it down. It was pretty tiring. My friend always asks me how I do it and came up with it and I just tell him. "I have no idea". But Most of my work on bass is light fluid finger work anyway but I love me some slap:D

Every-time. Even my drums are flipped lefty and they get so fed up with it when they want to play drums haha! Greatest thing I've ever seen. First time I played bass with a band I walk in and the guitar guy says. "Um dude why are you holding it upside down" I said " well I'll show you. We jammed for 20 minutes straight and we never spoke about it again haha.

Giving this thread a nice nudge along. ANY LEFTY PLAYERS OUT THERE BESIDES JUST ME? I know I'm a minority as less than 30% of the world is lefty but we need to get a shout out once in a while too! :thumbsup:

The only lefty bass player that I ever heard of that played with a right handed strung bass was Keith Ferguson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Played an old early 50s right handed Fender P bass with the single coil pickup.

Sorry I know this is late lol. Actually Keith Ferguson re-strung his early 50s P Bass lefthanded. I actually think its great he did that, I play lefty basses but there are some righthanded ones I wouldn't mind "converting" for lefty playing.
