As for EBMM basses, there are lefty SR4's, SR5's and lefty Sterlings. Are there plans at EBMM for lefty Bongo's too? (Jon / Dargin / anyone?)

As far as I know there are no plans to produce lefty Bongos. I could be wrong, but I have not heard anything. Maybe Scott will see this and confirm.

Sometime in the future we will offer left handed Bongo basses. There is no timetable, so please be patient.

Scott,

Well, make some noise when you finally do start making lefty Bongo's. My bass player would snap one up today, but he can't 'cause he's a southpaw.

No!

NO!

Don't give into the dark side and play upside down.

It's either left or it ain't!

Some lefties play normal stringed guitars. For example the guitarist in Roger Waters' In the flesh DVD - damn fine guitarist too. I don't know how they do it but they do it! I met a guy like that and I asked why, he said in his childhood he had to share one guitar with his brother. I had once seen a bassist on TV doing that as well.

I am a lefty. I have always played the guitar and bass right handed versions. I never really had a problem but then I am old and it is a right handed world. I would almost say I am neither handed now days.

I just always thought it was pretty nifty how the Strat looked so upside down and Jimi wailed it to death.
