So I'm scrolling through cl because I'm bored and nothing better to do when I come across this listing for a "left handed bass amp"...this can't be real..I mean left handed basses, sure and not common really but yeah I've seen plenty but a left handed amp?...

Here is the description..lol.

Are you a left handed bassist? Did you find your perfect left handed bass guitar? Well match it up with this rare find. A true left handed bass amp!!

Normal wear and tear. Works fine. Sounds great. 100 watts (150 with extension). Great practice/small gig amp. Light/portable. $750 new.

Also works for rightys. You just have to turn it upside down and reverse the direction of the instrument cable.

lmfao..no way..I mean this has got to be a joke? Has anybody ever heard of such a thing ?

My guess is the seller is a lefty and making light of it.

probably not a joke --- left-handed people have secret societies, secret handshakes...a bunch of secret stuff. i'm more surprised by the disclosure. FWIW: i used to have a piano that was built for folks with two left hands...very rare!

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

(accesses secret lefty dark web to inform the secret society of Lefty Illuminati that we have a leak)

I've done a ton of shows in Myrtle Beach. This seems about right for your area. ;)
 
I grew up in a household that ONLY had a left handed pie cutter/server. You know the triangular pie cutter with the handle? Well, the right side edge was serrated to cut the pie, which meant you either had to “back hand” cutting and serving the pie, or use your left hand. We ended up using a knife to cut pies, and then using the server only to serve.

My parents never did just spend the $5 and buy a right handed pie server. I bet they still have it, some 40-50 years later!
 
...maybe they're still hoping for a left-handed pie..?
