The bullet has been bitten...

Hey, I've been away from a pc for some time this month and finally have an afternoon where i was able to get on one so i thought i'd share something with you guys....

For years as a left handed bass player i've seen, gigged with and had the joy of listening to upright players always thinking to myself that it's such a shame i can't play right handed.

Well last month i found out, thanks to BC yet again, that inface you can get lefty EUB's!!!

So i've invested some money in a NS NXT 5 LH AB.

Here's a couple of pictures i took briefly at my dad's, where i had it delivered, and after a gig i popped over to un box it and squeel like a girl at it. ^_^

So far, over the short time i've had between gigs to play it, i'm enjoying it very much. I love the tone and the different playing style. I'm very much looking forward to integrating it into our sets and writing on it.

Oh and i haven't told the band/bands that i have it. i'm going to just turn up with it in a couple of weeks and surprise them all.

Anyhoo i won't take up any more of your time. Just thought i'd share.

Peace, Shawn

And I'm not even getting a cut from NS for all the good publicity I'm giving them! Anyway, being left-handed is now officially cool and there appears to be a small but ever-growing army of us.
