Getting a left-handed bass is totally up to you, but it is not necessary just because you are left-handed. Many southpaws play right-handed basses with no problems at all. When you play bass both hands have to do work.
Subsequently, can a left-handed guitar be changed to right-handed?
yes it can be done usually. However it depends on the guitar. I have a guitar where the bridge is designed specifically for the thicker strings to be at the top of a right handed guitar. If I was to flip the strings the thicker strings wouldn’t work.
Furthermore, can any guitar be strung left-handed? Right hand acoustic guitars can be strung left handed. While the shape of an acoustic guitar is symmetrical (unless featuring a cutaway) attention should be paid to the nut and saddle which, depending on the guitar, in most cases will require replacing to ensure reliable intonation and playability.
Keeping this in consideration, can you restring a bass to be left-handed?
Yes, you can restring a bass with a few modifications. The main modifications are with the nut and the bridge where the strings pass through slots. The nut can’t be reversed, but can be replaced fairly easily.
