Designed by the session great himself!

The Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass guitar is built with input from the bassist who has played with the Firm, Whitesnake, David Gilmour, and many others.

It has an alder body and a modern C-shaped maple neck with an unfinished, unfretted ebony fingerboard with side dot position markers. That trademark 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. Other features include vintage tuning machines with a Hipshot Bass Xtender Drop D tuning key on the "E" string to get way down low, and three-way switching for maximum tonal choices.

Sweet Fretless

A very playable fretless bass with classic Fender tone. Switch it to the bridge Jazz pickup & plug the bass into a Cry Baby wah & see what happens. Play it with both pickups & it is full & bright. Play it on the neck pickup & you have the classic P-Bass tone. This thing is smooth & has a lot of punch. I LOVE IT!!!

There's better for cheaper

The neck on this instrument is not very responsive. The range of tones is unusual, and better than a fretless P-Bass, but not as good my fretless jazz. The drop D works fine, but I doubt I'd use it. Too expensive for what you get.

This bass plays incredibly smooth right out the box.The variety of tone combonations through use of tone knob and pick-up selection are unmatched. I own several precisions, I think they are getting lonely.

Great Fretless

I sat and played one of these and was really impressed! If you like fenders, and are in the market for a fretless, this should be on your list of try-outs. The neck and fretboard felt like butter. I'm still thinking about the experience. My only setback is the price.

Just awsome. The bass plays like a dream and the growl is just sweet. I don't think I can ever go back to frets after playing this... I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a fretless, there's nothing better.
