Fender Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass Description:
Honoring "one of its own", Fender proudly introduces the new Tony Franklin Signature Model Fretless Precision Bass guitar. The renowned bassist--who juggles a professional music career while also handling Artist Relations duties for Fender Musical Instruments Corp.--helped model this bass the instrument that has seen work with the likes of Paul Rogers and Jimmy Page, as well as with his Franklin's successful solo career.
Having worked at Fender for the past two years, Franklin suggested his own P Bass® as an idea for a new model. He showed it to a number of people, and the consensus was that Tony was right--this would be a great addition to Fender's bass guitar offering.
The new Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass takes a renowned instrument to an all new level. Vintage styling such as the iconic alder P Bass body with Black or 3-Color Sunburst finishes, '70s stamped open gear tuning machines, vintage single-groove saddles and straight forward volume and tone controls scream "classic".
It is the modern and personal additions, however, that truly set this instrument apart from all others. This bass guitar features an unfinished fretless ebony fingerboard without fret lines or position markers, a Hipshot® Bass Xtender Key for drop-D tuning, a unique 3-way pickup selector, and specially designed Tony Franklin pickups.
The new Fender Tony Franklin Signature Model Precision Bass guitar comes with a Deluxe black vinyl covered case with black plush lining. US MSRP is $1999.99.

That famous growl comes from an American Series Precision Bass neck pickup and a Tony Franklin signature Jazz Bass bridge pickup with hex screw lugs and bar ceramic magnets.
