JB-4L (Jazz Bass Left Handed)

[Keith Walters]

I never actually noticed until last night that BOTH volume pots are wired back-to-front.
I guess somebody has assumed that since everything else on a left-handed guitar is a mirror-image, the pots should be too!
No, I don't think mastering "Clockwise = louder" is any more difficult for a left-handed person.

Besides, I'm not actually left handed. I have two damaged fingers of my left hand which makes fretting impossible but I can hold a pick OK.
(Incidentally, if you enter "Jimi Hendrix" + "Signing Autographs" into Google Image Search, you'll note that he wasn't actually left-handed either!)

I finally excavated my old 1970s Vase Trendsetter 60 guitar amp from all the cushions and other stuff that had been stacked on top of it and plugged the bass into it. (I wish I'd tidied up the shelf above it a bit; funny how you never see that until after you've taken the photo).
It's not a proper bass amp, but it still sounded pretty good. It took about 15 minutes for my hands and fingers to "remember" how to play but it all came back pretty quickly. My fingertips need a bit of hardening up though.
