Bad times for Leftys at the Music Fair 2010 in Franfurt.

It would have been a desaster if there have not been

some companies that care for Leftys.

Highlights were Rössel, Sandberg, Elrck, Bacchus and Maruszczyk.

Here are some impressions.

.

I talked to Adrian Maruszczyk on the fair and told him about my disappointment.

Adrian explained that he has about 20 different kind of lefthand basses

with variale setups in his warehouse.

For anyone who is interested: Adrian Maruszczyk is available on

www.public-peace.de

wonderful handmade basses!

New "Wanted" list and new Guestbook!


Perhaps you will have noticed that the list for your search for left-handed basses, as well as the guestbook due to technical modifications was not conformed to our requirements. So I was forced to change the provider. I beg your pardon!

I hope for the future, an equally strong acceptance and look forward to your messages.

See you soon,
Arni

Like Assaf Akimi is comming for a gig to Belgium, Jennifer Leitham is also comming Europe for a gig to the Bohém Fesztivál in Hungary.

She´s a double bassplayer as well and looking for bass to lent. So if the Community can help, we were more than glad!

I'm coming over to Europe to play at the Bohém Fesztivál in Hungary the last weekend in March. I'm planning on bringing my EUB but was wondering if you might know of anyone in the vicinity who would rent a left handed string bass?
Thank you for your site, I enjoy looking at all of the wonderful basses and I especially enjoy the fact that there are so many left handed bassists!!
Kudos,
Jennifer

Hope we are able to help Jennifer! If you have any proposals, please get in touch with Jennifer Leitham at:www.jenniferleitham.com or Facebook.

Hi Lefties!

Here are two email I want to present you asap.

Stay in touch,

Arni

.

Hi Arni,
as you maybe have seen, I'm running a topic on
Leftybassist and The last Bass outpost site to gather, at least, 20 lefties who wants' to buy a left handed version of the Bach TH bass (BachBird), it's a very well made reproduction of the Gibson Non Reverse Thunderbird. The same thing has been done last year by right handed bass players and the result was very good.
I've personally had one of these basses and must say it was a great bass for a great price.


I would be very glad if it would be possible to let other lefties know aboutthis project on your site too. We are currently 15 buyers so we need another 5. You can see the bass here:
www.bachmusik.com/c211/model-th/

Cheers

Jesper

Help needed from Israel!

We will be thankfull for any informations and help!

Please get in touch with Assaf directly or send me an email. Thanks a for any help!
