Re: How is your bass strung?

E string on the bottom for basses.
For standard 6 string guitar, E on top.
I learned guitar first, and then picked up the bass to fill in occasionally. No-one would ever let me re-string their righty basses the "correct" way (E on top), so I learned holding it upside down but strung "righty".
Kinda odd, but I'm glad I did so. I can play any righty just by flipping it, and all my basses are lefty bodies and necks strung righty.
So, put another one down in the "E on the bottom" column.
