Tonight, folks!

I'll start reminding people via Twitter from the next few days, in case anyone has missed this thread so far.

Brilliant - I've copied the Troubadour photos link in there too More to come, plus a couple of videos. (One of the videos comprises two songs segueing into one another.) Keep up the excellent work!

Excellent stuff! Here again is the link to the photos from the Troubadour gig, 09/04/14: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluejay_my_photos/sets/72157643765603643/"]https://www.flickr.c...57643765603643/[/url] Edit: forgot to add the taster shot - here it is

The next Dogs gig is at the Fox in Twickenham this Sat - in the meantime, here is a medley from their gig in February: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66N8tTiRmyE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66N8tTiRmyE[/url]

Quick photo album here!

I have around a million more photos and oodles of footage from the gig, and I'm slowly working my way through it.

Some photos now on the appropriate thread in Live Photos and Videos. I'm working on some from Cherry White's set as we speak

Dani, Damian and Happy Jack at the Troubadour, yesterday. [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluejay_my_photos/sets/72157643763950715"]https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluejay_my_photos/sets/72157643763950715[/url] First shot of set:

I think people like you guys are pretty close to being ambidextrous, which is rather good

Another KK BabyBass outing for Happy Jack with singer-songwriter Kareña K tomorrow. Not our usual side of London - come along if you're around

Great news - we want to see the photos! I'll tweet this in the meantime

[quote name='krysh' timestamp='1397126365' post='2420878'] this doesn't sound bollocks to me, because as a lefty this exactly is the reason why I did it after trying both ways when I started in 1982. I never looked back. [/quote] And you're not the only one either. I think there are different degrees and/or types of left-handedness. I can hardly pick a righty guitar up, let alone attempt to play it...

Here is where having started after I hit 40 helped Lots of lefty instruments around now, from eye-wateringly expensive to dirt-cheap, and mine was a 24-fret, lefty Crafter bass bought in a combo with a practice amp. I got along with it very well, until the electronics began to misbehave, so I got a Warwick RB Corvette 4, and discovered that the Crafter's neck was waay chunkier that the Corvettes. Never looked back since, I absolutely love Warwicks. I still have the Crafter.

Careful with the ole' blood, Mike! Left-handed, female, bass player. I tick all the wrong boxes. I write with my right hand (not my mum and dad's fault, though - they've always been very supportive, but it was too late when they realised I had been taught the wrong way). I have had leftism and sexism thrown at me on many occasions. "Shopping for the boyfriend", "You know, guitars are used this way [righty], not that way [lefty upside-down], let me show you" "You take that long cable with two tips and stick one of them here, see, in the bass, and the other here, see, INPUT", and famously, by an ex-bf's bandmate "Women should either sing or stay backstage ready for the afterparty". I could go on. However, getting mightily p*ssed off is not the answer IMO. Ignoring the "-isms", charging on regardless towards whatever result you want to achieve, whilst showing no intention to be intimidated, and at the same time being extremely polite throughout, always ends up getting them to blush at their idiocy and finally become helpful.

An excellent evening indeed, and around a billion photos and videos to follow

Indeedy! It's tonight, folks

This whole thread is very and the fact that they're all lefties makes it even more GAS-inducing to me Keep it going!

Absolutely, or even celebrating with her at the LBGS

They may have moved it to avoid the clash with the Guitar Show in Brum this time round...

The LBGS 2015 is on 7th and 8th March 2015!! http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/

Hello Mark! That's brilliant stuff, thanks - it proves that some lefty basses are as prone to being absolutely effing ugly as their righty counterparts Others, of course, are gorgeous whatever way you look at them. LOL in here we're all mirror images of ourselves! Is that the reason why you feel funny?

Hadn't seen this thread, Paul! Cool shot - keep 'em coming

It's Lefty Gear Porn! We put our pics here so they're readily accessible when we want to ogle each other's stuff
