Salt on your Bass? Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Really really left field question. I'm right handed. I play right handed. Im naturally right footed, but pretty much always use my left foot for wah / volume/ any effects control. My guitarist is a lefty though.....and he uses his left foot....especially for wah based fun. Just curious as to whether theres a 'norm' not that it makes any difference to anything or anyone 🤷♂️ (Edit - I messed up the poll question - apologies - never set one up before) ✌️ Edited May 6 by Salt on your Bass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 When I was actually operating my foot pedals by foot, I mostly used my right foot apart from the bank up and down switches on the left of my Helix Floor for which I used my left foot. Currently my Helix is now controlled by the computer that is also our band's drummer and second synth player, so it tucked away somewhere where our singer is unlikely to step on it mid-song and the only switch I have worry about is the one for activating the tuner for which I use whichever foot is most convenient. I do have a foot switch for controlling the computer which is normally positioned as far over to the left of the stage as possible so I normally use my left foot for that.

Baloney Balderdash Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I am right handed, though more ambidextrous than most, which foot I use to control/turn on/off my pedals depends, but mostly my right foot, so that is what I voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I'm left handed, play right handed and use my left foot, because it doesn't affect the way the body of the instrument sits on the strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliably? That puts a different slant on things… 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I’ve never thought about this until now, but I use my right foot for almost everything, including wah, except for when I play analog-delay-spaceship-theremin with my left foot. (right-handed player, left-handed writer, everything else is a mix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
