About Me


In January 2006 - Fender proudly introduced the new Tony Franklin Signature Model Fretless Precision Bass® guitar. Tony Franklin is the FRETLESS MONSTER! Few bassists over the past two decades are more synonymous with the fretless bass than Tony Franklin. 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 Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers, Whitesnake, Blue Murder, numerous sessions and Franklin's own solo career.
It has an alder body (Black or Three-color Sunburst finish) and a modern C-shaped maple neck with an unfinished, unfretted ebony fingerboard with side dot position markers. 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. Other features include vintage tuning machines with Hipshot® Bass Xtender Drop D tuning key on the “E” string, and three-way switching.
