Well, you CAN get a single humbucker SR or Sterling with piezo so I'm not sure your first statement is true.

Andrew

I'm not sure either, but as soon as someone opens up a HH SR/Srterling we'll know. On the Bongos there is a connection point on the pcb labelled Piezo...

... "thunder" isn't exactly what comes to mind when piezos on a bass are the subject ...

While I can't speak for/about 'lefties' on any MM bass,
as an 'international' client, my latest info on a 'rightie' SR5 is that

- No piezo is currently available for SR5 HH or HS configurations
- SR5 / piezo currently available only as Hp
(shall I @$$ume same for SR4 & Sterling ?)

Best EBMM retailer advice is to wait until after winter '06 NAMM
pending EBMM international price list for '06 bass models / options

Communications between retailers and their head / regional offices
is another matter altogether ...

Adouglas and Alvabass seem pretty addicted to their piezos

Definitely. Pure beauty. Besides, they make the slap sound even more agressive to my ears. Honestly, I feel I can't live without them.

Reaches down, turns off piezo....

hand starts trembling, nervous eye tic starts....

reaches down, turns piezo back up....


Yep.

*Raises hand from back of room*

Me too - I love the "edge" that the piezo adds.

I surely hope it finds it's way into the dual-pick-up models some day!

and bring back translucent white...or even better get a pre-order for a special lefties ltd. edition if u had enuff people... wooo that would be sumthing rare and awsome

BP once told me that he himself is left handed, but was smart enough to learn to play righty.

I did the same, not for any special reason, it just felt more natural to play as a righty, don't know why

 

[cheezewiz]

As of several weeks ago, the salesmullet at GC Toledo had not heard of any such thing as a 2 pickup EB bass, and his vocabulary seemed limited to the words "Warwick" and "Bitchin".

Same here. Plus you avoid looking like a freak.

Plus you avoid looking like a freak.

That's going to take a lot more than just turning your bass around. Try buying some new shirts maybe

 

[Golem]

But thank God Ernie Ball has always been there for the lefty ... .....

Take a thoughtful look at the EBMM trademark.

ps. not so long ago, I hit on a very kool tip, mostly for piezo/fretless/roundwound playerz about how,
besides playing technique, to reduce 'fingernoise'
(hint = it's about a few strategic wipes with xxxfine sandpaper)
"Ask Your (Bass)Doctor Today"

Rick Turner recommends the sandpaper trick, and most of his production is piezo-only.

Me too. I feel like I've been spared from a curse. I do think I know why it feels more natural. A normal electric bass is actually a 'stealth lefty' device. Think abouditt.

i tried playing right handed and could not do it. even though i am write with my right... i can only play with my left.. it feels so foreign to play right!
