josh3184 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Was just discussing this with another from the lefty crew and we were discussing seeing if we could get a lefthanded section of basschat going? I know that us lefties have been granted a sticky in the for sale thread (for which we are thankful of course) but we thought that that was just the tip of the lefty iceberg. If we were to get a subforum going (e.g. in "The Local" section) then not only would it make it easier for lefties to help each other (gear hunts, experiences with retailers, etc) but it might also help bring in musicians who are left handed who currently don't really have a forum on the internet (leftybassist.com is the closest it comes and its pretty poor from what I've seen). Thoughts and comments welcomed Quote

Rebel Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'm all for starting a lefty thread... that and there's another site that is like this but devoted to us lefties. it's called leftybassist.com Quote

Rebel Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 ok i just sent a PM to their admin (andrew) to spread the word, so we'll see what happens Quote
james_guitar Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Oooh... I don't know how Hitler would have felt about this idea... Quote
Eight Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Fine. Then there should also be a separate forum for right-handed players so that we can talk about only rightie issues. And can I join both since I am left handed but play regular? Quote
steve-soar Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hi guys, I don't want us to be marginalized any more than we already are. Lefty technique is the same as righty, we just play right to left instead. Amps are still the same, basses are orientated oppositely but are still made of the same bits and pieces. So for that reason, I'm out. Quote
lemmywinks Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'm also strongly against this, and lefty players in general. They'll be wanting to vote next! Quote
Rebel Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 *sigh* never can get a fair shake anywhere. try leftybass.com... look at all the lefties on there!!! we're everywhere! Quote

pobolycwm Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 to rights we need a lefty section, the other sort can go join guitarchat.com or drumchat .com Quote
Tinman Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Separatists!!!!!!!! You'll be wanting an independant left handed Basschat next Where will it end.....an island where only lefties can live? My God! You'll confuse the Celts with this you know.....they won't know who to support. Quote
Rebel Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I can't help but find that funny even if i am a lefty Quote
Rebel Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Their admin just got back to me, Josh, and he said he help post the word and spread it Quote
Rebel Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 In the meantime, I guess we can talk southpaw for a while? maybe some NAMM Gear, Reviews or something? Quote
