Thread: JB-4L (Jazz Bass Left Handed)

  1. #51
    As I mentioned in an earlier post, the editor of Silicon Chip magazine thought their readers might be interested in guitar kits and asked me to write an article on this build for them. It's in the November issue which is in newsagents now.

    Generally they didn't make too many alterations to my original text, but a few contradictory paragraphs have been inserted that I didn't write, some marked "editor's note," others not. The parts where I described how to line the bridge up and how to adjust the intonation were rather severely truncated, possibly to get it down to 8 pages. But anyway, the publication fee will finance quite a few more DIY guitars :-)

    Here's a link to the blurb on the Silicon Chip website

    Add me as well- not that I'm deserving of such exalted company. 😀

    I maintain it makes perfect sense for lefties to play "conventional" stringing as the strongest hand is doing most of the work (fretting). Are there any righties out there who flip and play McCartney-style?
