BGM shocker!

Dec 09, 2011 15:49

Bass Guitar Magazine this month in listening to the readers shocker! Maybe it's the new editor or something, but at last my letters of nearly 2 years ago have had some effect, they've actually reviewed some lefty basses this month, 3 in fact!

It's not the biggest equality issue in the world I know, but yeah it is nice to see it addressed in some fashion. Most guitar and bass manufacturers only offer a token 'range' to lefties, and they are often the bottom of the line stuff and as I said more expensive than the right-handed equivalent (by about £50 for a bass in the sub-£300 category) which is a bit crap. The only exception being bespoke luthiers and Warwick - which really count only for the very top-end (about £1000+ for a new instrument).

Thanks :o)

One of The Marching Men's guitarist is left-handed. And I know a left-handed bassist from Hell. Sorry, Hull.

Nice work!

I know a guitarist who's left-handed, but as he plays right-handed I don't think he quite counts as a left-handed guitarist.
