The Lefty Union... Revived!

Yep. As long as your right hand isn't dominant, it's okay with me.
Just send me a PM.
I meant for the ambidextrous club. I'm already sort of a member of the lefty union, even though I'm (mostly) right handed now.
Most tuner manufacturers and dealers online should have them. They're just not often available as a complete set; you often have to buy them individually.
My personal recommendation: Hipshot. They're a bit above-average in price, but they make quality products, including the famous "Xtender" (which lets you detune the E string instantly to drop D). They have them available for purchase online: http://www.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=2
Each tuner they sell is available left-handed.
If you don't want to spend that much, Gotoh and Schaller both have left-handed bass tuners as well. Here are some examples: Invalid Link Removed
And of course, there's always eBay.
The lefty/righty thread over in the "technique" forum reminded me I need to sign up! Wow, I've never been in a union before. 
They should start a seperate section for us in the Basses For Sale forum so we don't have to do a search! ;-) I saw The Dudepit also has a Lefty Forum.
All those wishing to join... you'll have to hang on for a bit.
I lost the original list.
I think I know where it is though!
...but it's not on this computer.

I would have played lefty but forced myself to learn righty when I was told left handed basses and guitars are more expensive and harder to find.
