As a Precision Bass, I think that is true. They did make the original Telecaster Bass in a lefty. I don't know if technically you can call that a '51 P bass reissue. I saw the lefty Tele for sale at Rudy's Music shop on 48th Street in Manhattan. It was the classic yellow with white pickguard. They were asking $10,000. A few years ago I even met the lefty bassist who traded it to them. He seemed to not regret selling it but I bet he does.

Fender made some in the 70’s.

That one was mine. I did the restoration repairs and paint. I had it for a couple of years, and traded it in on a 68 Tele bass they had at the time.
