  • How I play

    July 18, 2013

    This is my latest bass, a Carvin ICON6P, six string bass guitar that I bought used off Ebay a couple of months ago. This is now my primary gig, and recording bass. I am left handed, but I play with my strings set up for a right handed person because my first bass guitar was a right handed one. I didn't have money to buy a new set of strings, and the strings on it had all excess string cut off, so I flipped it over and learned how to play that way. I have about 16 basses, and most are right handed, and I flip them over to play, making the "cutaway", and long horn on the bottom. With the left handed bass, the cutaway is in the right position, but I had to re-string it with my "B" string on the bottom, and my "C" string on top. I've since met quite a few cats that play both guitar, and bass that way, but 40 plus years ago, when I first started, I was a real oddity, even to myself. Go to Youtube to check Jeff Schmidt, or Keith Horne, or me playing live with a couple of bands.
