Scott Reeder

[Skol303]

This might be old news to some of you, but I stumbled across bassist Scott Reeder whilst watching some Warwick videos on YouTube.

He's a leftie who plays 'upside down' - in that he developed his style by just literally turning the bass over, so that the E string is where the G string would be in a 'conventional' set up.

I thought it was interesting how this influenced his playing style. Well, I thought it was interesting... and I'm a rightie

Here's the video if you want a look:

I play the same way. I didnt think twice about simply flipping a guitar over to try and play on it when I was starting out.

Ah the Katana, the bass that gives me more lust than almost any other.

Hideously ugly, the worst looking bass in the world in my opinion but my god when you hold one?

Ergonomics.

It just fits.
