Yes. It is righty!
No, it has NOT been restrung

The very last note played

Wayne,

Oh I see he is just playing it Lefty. So the strings technically are backwards for a lefty?

50 years or so!

Wayne,
It is funny that we are having this conversation because I also am Lefty but I play a right handed bass. i never learned to play it left handed.

Let me clarify:

With regard to the video you posted,
this is a piece of "ELVIS" related
memorabilia. As such, I don't think
Paul will EVER have it "fixed", "altered",
"restrung" ... yadda yadda, to make it
EASIER for HIM to play.
Obviously, it would not be at all difficult
for McCartney to get a LEFTY upright bass!
1, maybe 2 phone calls and he could have
one "overnighted" pretty much anywhere
on the globe!

Rick,
your right why would you have to restring a left handed bass unless you played right handed.
Lol! I had to think about that one.

I guess sir Paul is a multi-instrumentalist and he can even get something melodious out of a sea-shell!
Nice movie though...thanks for sharing!

Hi Mo,

After a rather "dark" period in my life, it's nice to be here again!
Now I come to think of it, wouldn't it be nicer to alter the title of this thread into "Paul McCartney on Upleft Bass?"" LOL

Sean ;)
