@kocuhu I went to a music store today to find out about bass guitar lessons, and I asked them if they had left-handed bass guitars. The told me I HAVE to play right-handed because there aren't many lefty basses. Does this sound right for them to make me play with my right hand?

@animepwn3r It's the reverse. The 4001 were equipped with Maxima flatwounds from the factory...purple silk. The higher tension and usage of (primarily) Rotosound RS 66 Swing Bass roundwounds. This, coupled with folks that would re-adjust the 4001 trussrods by just tightening them as opposed to loosening the nuts and setting the neck to position by hand, (then re-tightening) could cause the fretboards to separate from the necks.

@sc7prim i have a 1978 4001 which has always had roundwounds on it, it can handle them just fine.

@mrponchocanela 4001 isnt made to handle flatwounds because the way they were built, 4003 were able to handle flatwounds. 4001 has horseshoe pickups, not sure which type of pickups the 4003 has.

@largeaquaticmammal Are you left-handed by nature?
If so, I strongly recommend you to use lefty bass. It's an innate ability. I wish I were...
Even if not, I think a lefty bass is so cool. Though they are right ("there aren't many lefty basses"), It's worth trying.

@kocuhu I'm ambitextrous, but playing any kind of guitar left handed is much more comfortable than playing with my right. Is it worth investing in a more expensive lefty bass, or should I just try and learn how to play right handed?

@largeaquaticmammal If I were you I will choose lefty. It's up to you. Although you'll need extra money, probably you'll get benefit more than that.

what is the diference od the sound between the 4003 and the 4001
mrponchocanela 3 months ago
@mrponchocanela I don't know exactly. I think the difference in strings is more important than model number.
