Lefties must use reverse polarity.

...and 4 pats of butter...
...5 lumps of sugar in his tea, though.
Curious. Maybe he needed 5 for those backward somersaults off his amp.

Lefties know that two wrongs don't make a right, but that three lefts do...
The opposite is true for right-handers... They don't know.

Jimi Hendrix didn't really die. He was so far ahead of his time NASA moved him to 2420.
You can always yank out the frets, but then you'll still have fret lines even though you're no longer frowning, or fretting.
Lefties' frets are installed upside down.
..as you can a guitar....
Fans marvel at how Jimi Hendrix played the guitar with his teeth.
But what they don't know is that when playing on stage he was so disgusted with the sound that he was trying to defret his guitar on the fly.
The P-Bass was never used on any recording ever. In fact recording engineers always hated P-basses because they were impossible to fit into the mix.
Every bass used on a recording from 1960 to now was an upright bass.
Carol Kaye played an upright using a pick.
James Jamerson used an upright on every Motown hit. His electric P-basses weren't stolen....he donated them to thrift shops.
The P-Bass rumor was started by Fender to sell more instruments.
Fender couldn't even make a P-bass and contracted out the job to Samick. All Fender P's are actually Samick products..
There never was anybody named Leo Fender. Another corporate myth created to sell basses.
Fender Co. was actually started by a woman named Gretsch Gibson.
The name P-bass comes from the shortened version of POS-bass. They were so bad everyone called them a POS.
But later they were just known as P-basses.

Struth! ^
That's just human nature to shorten things over time POS-bass to Pbass. That's also how the similarly loathedSamick Fendre [sic] offset waist bass became known as the Huge-A$$, 'cause it sounded like it, and eventually was shortened further to become known as the Jazz.
Leo Fender is just Colonel Sanders in disguise, same actor played both roles.
