Fender Lefty '62 Jazz Bass, sunburst, made in Japan 2010-11. Sometimes we neglect our southpaw sisters and brothers, but we're trying to right the wrongs of the past. This is a simple and effective vintage style J, with all those classic sixties lines and a smart burst finish. The dark tort guard and streaky rosewood board really make the finish pop, it's understated and classy but has a certain radiance to it. The tone is classic J: immediate, punchy attack with a rounded low end and a snappy, defined top end. It'll cover a lot of ground without breaking a sweat and always look the part doing it.
