Fender Meteora Bass

What do we think? Any hope of Fender making this thing lefty? It's such a killer model, I hope it sticks!

I wouldn't count on it. I do like it a lot though!
I think the shape would lend itself very well for a shortscale version too. I'd love a shortscale in that awesome green finish!

A comment I see a lot on various forums is about the headstock... It doesn't really match the design. Someone made a mockup with the Fender Starcaster headstock, and I think it looks much better!

Nice bass! Offset Jazzmaster-esque bodies really came back from the dead and enveloped Fender in the last two decades.
