I'm a lefty bassplayer from Toronto and I'm 46 years old, bought my first bass when I was 43

My gear

Ibanez Artcore ASB140 Brown Sunburst ("Lucy"), I got it converted to a
lefty.

My basses always go through-
Korg Toneworks > ART Studio V3 Tube preamp> Amp>PA
My bass strings of choice are GHS Bass Boomers Heavy gauge 50-115

I'm the music coordinator for the Saturday night services at Toronto
Alliance Church, I also play bass or guitar and do some vocals.
I also play bass at my church on rotating Sundays (check out
www.torontoalliancechurch.ca) you'll see a shot of me holding my black Ibanez in the slideshow.

I do have couple of guitars that are left handed
'79 Ibanez Roadstar 2 RS135 Black ("Heidi") Takamine acoustic ("Shirley")

But I actually play guitar right handed
Guild GAD 40CE (my main acoustic) ("Liz") 1970 Mann acoustic model # AJ-301 ("Jacqui"), was my main acoustic until
I bought my Guild
Ibanez Artcore AS73 Brown Sunburst ("Mona"), matches the ASB140 and my main electric axe Ibanez JetKing 2 brown sunburst ("Ruby") 1929 Slingerland Songster Archtop brown sunburst, project guitar, mainly needs neck reset ("Maybelle")

Also own for pedals

Danelectro PB&J delay


My headphones of choice Beyer-Dynamics, haven't heard better yet
Also own a Beyer-Dynamics TG-48 dynamic microphone.
Can also play some drums but very limited in ability with no formal
training but will be taking lessons soon.
I work, come home, practice, work on theory and play at the church on the weekends, that's my life in a nutshell and very happy
