Donahue posted this earlier this morning in our LB group.
Never thought they would come up with a different bass for the Tribute series in lefty.
This is big specially for whoever wanted a L-1000, this is it's compact version!

Basswood

With this pickup I don't think it'll matter!

Wow nice!

Are they already available? I can't find one online.

Here is another lefty that just sold. I played one of these upside down at the G&L factory last year. They surprisingly play and sound not too shabby.

I'm waiting for them to pop up at the major European webshops. I'd love to give one a try, I'm really GASsing for a cool shortscale and I love the look of these in Candy Apple Red with the maple board!

Yeah same for me, I was considering the Sire U5, then I discovered this Fallout and the Schecter Banshee, but can't find any of them in stock in Europe.

We get stuck with the tribute and not the real deal...


pete

Are you kidding? The USA version is available too
They even posted a twin-pickup custom order on their Facebook page a while ago.

Wow... that must be a Beast in the sound dept... !

No, I'm not kidding. I see the tribute and I see a custom shop bass, but no Fullerton basses.

I think Pete is right.
When these first came out with the competition stripes I asked and they said it wasn't available.
Who knows if by now the changed their mind on that?
Still the Tribute still a pretty nice option.

Does anyone here have one of these?

Been looking for a short scale like this for a very long time (thanks, Fender )

According to their website, the lefties are Poplar and not Basswood.

Weird, and interesting!
Poplar was long frowned upon when Fender Mexico used it, but I kinda like it. I had a MIJ Jackson DK2 guitar with a poplar body, and still have a Status S2 Classic 5-string with a poplar body that's lovely. Light and resonant, with a nice and even response.
