Hi All,I am new to the forum and a lefty.
All my playing life has been a struggle to find reasonably priced left handed basses.
In the last few months I have acquired another couple of lefty basses.
The latest two are a New Hagstrom Viking in beautiful sunburst finish.
Considering it's made in China and not Sweden the fittings and finish according to my local Luthier are superb.
The only fault was a faulty six way switch which now works as it should.
My next purchase was a used Left handed Epiphone Viola Bass.
I had been looking for a couple of years for one.
According to the serial number (U03041857) This bass was made at the Korean Unsung factory in April 2003 and came in a generic hard case and in excellent unmarked condition.I am delighted with finding a lefty Viola,as they are quite rare
Not like the lefty Hofner which I already have.I put my basses through the Ampeg
Micro VR 200 Watt rig with two 2x10 cabs.This covers most of the venues I play at.
Any comments or replies are welcome.
John
