Thank you all for your great and friendly support! .
It´s time again for the 4th sensation! How time flies! For the 4th unique event will be held! CMS and I invite you to the 4th Lefty Bass Day in Duisburg! We want you to spend a nice day and I talk about everything, especially left-handed bass. Who wants to show us his bass, bring him with you. Who wants to sell his bass can offer it for free on this day. In addition, we will present excerpts from André Müller his solo program. A generous raffle, presented by the company CMS rounds out this brilliant day. So until 22.09.2012! I look forward to you and your bass! . |

Jim Graham and his Cruiseship showband! I've been using flat-wound strings on my 62 RI Fender P bass and running it through my Sadowski pre-amp and it sounds great in the house. |

The german music store, "Musik Produktiv" in Ibbenbüren has for some time a considerable selection of left-handed guitars or basses. On 18 August 2012 I drove to this place take a look by myself. Together with lefty Ulli Goldbecker (Mixed Society) we met in this Lefty department a good friend Andreas Sindt, who´s responsible for this huge selection! My respect! |

The lady with the lefty Ric!
Hey Arni - Still loving the site! I thought
you would have a laugh that lefty bassists have made it into Japanese cartoons. This
is FLCL (if you don't know about it already):
Thanks to Sanford Santacroce |

Four lefty Waja basses and their lucky owners!
André Müller, Hubert Döring, Stefanie Weidner and me André Müller from Vienna and Hubert Dörung have been infected with the "Waja virus" on the last Lefty Bass Day. On 3/24/2012 received both bassists their custom handmade bass from the luthier Wassilios Nikolaidis of Waja Bass personally. The company CMS in Duisburg-Homberg took this moment as an opportunity to hold a small celebration. Many thanks to everyone involved! It was a great event! |

Tips for southpaws
WOW! Our website was part of the american issue of the Bass Player Magazine! |
After the initial consultation with knowledgeable persons these kits are not recommended. The overall symmetry is obviously out of joint, so that as the strings do not pass exactly over the pole pieces of the pickups. Still, I try to edit this kit on and make it ready for you. Will keep you posted and hope it´s only a individual case. |

. Last but not least! The 4th Lefty Bass Day on 22.September 2012! The Lefty Bassist Highlight this year!!! "The Jethro Tull Bourée Performance!"
What´s that??? It an open stage for lefty bassplayers (if you like, play with your guitarplayer, keyboarder, or solo...) to perform Jethro Tull´s bass solo from "Bourée" or the complete song with supporting musicians. (like this) So start practicing on the bass in these dreary winter days and learn Bourée! Hope we will have a lot of fun!! I'm looking forward to your performances! That's it for today. I must go now, doing my exercisesstarted on bass. Any questions? Please don´t hesitate to ask me: ArniBi@gmx.net Best wishes from your old friend Arni |
