Ever seen a bass player switch from playing right to left handed in a performance

Some party trick.

 

Video edit? No idea.

Well now

[Cosmo Valdemar]

I've seen a couple of Paul McCartney impersonators play bass left-handed then switch to a right-handed guitar for Blackbird 😄

[Steve Browning]

I often change to cack-handed during a gig.

I have enough trouble playing only left handed 🙂, John Otway plays both left and right handed guitar

I'm an ambidextrous bass player. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely crap with both hands.

Got to admit, thats not a song I'll be recommending to my covers band

Ambi-sinister. Poor lefties do get a bad rap in Latin...

I'd give right arm to be ambidextrous.

Some party trick indeed! No video edit, you can see the switch at 2:34

 

 

There are other videos of Karl playing bass with Nina dotted around youtube, but I don't know if he does the switch in those

 Interesting that his name is on the poster behind the TV presenter at the begining of the OP's video

Not during a gig, but there's a very talented chap comes to the jam night who plays guitar (and bass) left handed, but if no-one's brought a LH bass, he just takes mine and flips it over.

 

Gives me a mild panic attack watching him... 😐

I couldn’t possibly play anything competently left-handed, but have on rare occasion switched to LH when a hint is needed that a song we are playing may be a bit dull…

It's something I was going to learn do to.

To see if I could play differently but in the end I couldn't really be bothered with it

I was going to try and learn right handed, I found an encore bass left out by some bins which wasn't/isn't to bad action wise, but after a couple of attempts I decided it was just to much trouble and I can do some things right handed

Me too.

Years ago I told myself I was going to learn ti play left-handed as a challenge to myself. In the end it seemed like too much effort.

I tried last night, figured it wouldnt be too hard, turns out it is!
