I've always played a flipped righty. Began on bass 25 odd years ago by playing along to Sex Pistols, Ramones and other punk stuff so it was mainly root notes and I found it easier as it was all on the E and A strings. Played in bands on and off since early 90's. Moved on from the dum-dum-dum-dum days but self taught so my technique would have many of you wincing!
