Just got off the phone with FMIC headquaters, and because of this misleading booboo, they actually are going to start offering maple necks on lefty basses. And not only that, but they are also going to start offering a Jazz-width nut option on P-Basses, and also, you will now be able to order a lefty bass on any color they offer, and it will only take two weeks. Oh, and also the whole American vintage reissue bass catalog will be offered left-handed.

I have to admit, I was really excited for a minute or two. Guess, I will just have to enjoy my maple necked Mike Lull Jazz until Fender throws us a bone! :)
