I have played bass since 1974 and I have had also leftie Guild with 2 pick-ups (1979) (neck got broken 1982) and then I bought Music Man leftie Sabre, but it was too heavy. I prefer my leftie Fender Jazz Bass build 1969-71, I bought that 1981.
I have recorded with that summer 1981, when it was without fretless. It was so poorly unfretted and when I sold my Sabre, I got it re-fretted again. In 70's I played heavy like D. Purple, Zeppelin, Rainbow, Kiss and such stuff. Same time I played also prog-pop spiritual (some kind of gospel). That LP 1981 was Antti Ojala: Mitä tunsit? (Finngospel 1981). Nowadays I'm lutheran priest working as youth pastor in Nokia parish, Finland. I have also played bass with my former confirmation school pupil, Tomi Markkola every week summer 1994 & 1995. He won Finnish Tango King contest being Tango King of Finland 1996! Also I led 1992 Blues-Passio-project composing ja writing lyrics for that and I played my electric guitars like Jimi Hendrix!
Here is picture from 1982 of me playing lefty Music Man Sabre in gospel Festival at Sampola Concert Hall, Tampere, Finland. You can see that I'm very thin and hairy: I didn't went to Army for religous reason and I had to go Civil Service without salary for 12 months, I worked with mentally handicapped kids and I was a vegetarian. In picture I'm dressed with University of Helsinki T-skirt, because I studied there in Theological Faculty 1979-1988. I'm Doctor of Theology! lef

Music Man leftie Sabre

leftie ¾ Double Bass (Strunal 5/35 from Czek, I order a leftie just for me) I play that with pizzicato and with the bow.

Well, In 70's I had first Philips 40 w tube amp and 2 x 12" speakers cabin. Next I bought (1975) Impact 60 watt and cabin with 4 x 10" Lansing and then (1976) I got Carlsbro 100 tube amp and bass bin with JBL K 130. Next one was Marshall 100 w tube and that bin (1978). Then I sold my gig bus (1980) and I bought Roland Stage Bass 200 with Roland cabin 2 x 15" Roland speakers. In that picture, I used that Roland set, it cost 10.000 FIM! Nowadays I play with that Roland Stage Bass 200 and Marshall cabin skins peeled off and wood lacked, with metal grilles fore speakers 4 x 12" Electro Voice EVM-12L's (1984)! Very punch and strong sound, giving solid bass with large areas of baffle in those speakers. It's very heavy to carry... I use half-rounded strings, they are ever-last...

I use Shadow SH 950 pick-up and Behringer V-tone Bass BDI preamp with the Strunal Double Bass.Also I have bought leftie ¾ Double Bass (Strunal 5/35 from Czek, I order a leftie just for me)
