Ignoring the fact I used to hate Fender's (they're way too common) let alone Squier's, I've come to appreciate the new Squier Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass. The only problem is, I'm left handed. While I had no problems converting a RH EB3 to lefthanded, to convert a Fender would greatly reduce the amount of playable frets, so that isn't an option. Now, I haven't seen much mention of lefty Squier's, so myquestion is, can you get left-handed models that are made to order? I really dont care if it costs extra. Thanks.

I'm not one to nit pick, and also I completely understand what you meant... but I find that funny
my actual question is... if you never played it how do you now you'll like it?
Cheapest way to get a fretless Jazz bass is buying a Mexican Jazz and taking it to a tech to get the frets removed professionally. You could end up with a very nice bass, much nicer than a factory Squier fretless.
Japan makes a version of the '62 reissue lefty and fretless, but with the ban Fender has imposed in exporting new MIJs from Japan, they are impossible to find, and the cost around $800 anyway.
Rondo Music used to have a fretless lefty Jazz clone for $160. . . but not in production anymore.
