| PRESS RELEASE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fender Honors One Of Its Own With The Tony Franklin Signature Fretless P Bass January 19, 2006 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 same instrument that has seen work with the likes of Paul Rodgers, Jimmy Page, Whitesnake, Blue Murder and numerous sessions, as well as Franklin's own 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. For more information, visit their web site at www.fender.com.
