Hi, not sure what kinds there are but I was thinking a Fender American Jazz Bass with an added low B. |

If you want a real Fender, you'll need to approach the Custom Shop and expect a hefty price tag. The only Fender 5-string available left handed is the Fender Japan Jazz Bass V. |

Not American made, but I picked up a used Sire V7 MM, ash body. After a few months, I am still very happy with the quality, the tone, the ergonomics (other than too many knobs), etc. Nothing to do with MIA, but still a really good option. |

Yeah I wouldn’t limit the search to just american made. You’ll be disappointed. Fender doesn’t do lefties but there’s Sadowsky and other boutique builders. Also you could do a Warmoth build. Those Sire basses do have a great reputation and price. |

I forgot- Look into G&L. I believe they do a lefty 5 string jazz. Someone correct me if I’m wrong |

I believe you can still option order them: http://glguitars.com/product/jb-5/ But the last one on G&L's Instagram was last May (before the re-org): https://www.instagram.com/p/BikVLSaBtgo/ Here's one made in 2017 and flipped in 2018: https://reverb.com/item/13117377-g-l-jb ... -jet-black A quick email to a G&L dealer would answer that for sure, though. |

Thanks all. Probably will look for a Japan made one if US made ones do not exist. |

I don't recall ever seeing Japanese 5 string Fenders either. Unless you really NEED Fender on the logo, the Sire above mentioned will deliver the goods. I play a Warmoth 5 string Jazz Deluxe with an ash body. I like it so much that it is the only reason I play a 5 string. |
