I am a lefty that plays righty. My right hand technique isn't horrible, but I lack the dexterity. I'm considering picking up a lefty bass to see if it'll work the other way around.

Novel Idea, being able to play lefty and righty. Anyone else ever try?
 
Saw a Beatles tribute band once and the "Paul" played the viola bass left handed. Didn't look quite natural but it was very effective. He then played, Yesterday, solo and switched to his natural, I think, RH playing. I was impressed.
