Tony Franklin Fretted Precision Bass - Gold Amber or Olympic White with Maple Fingerboard
Hot-Rodded Precision Power! Although most know Tony for his amazing fretless playing, he has been doing sessions with the same fretted Precision Bass® for years. This signature bass sings just like his fretless, with P and J pickups and a 3-way selector switch providing an array of great tones. For players who want a top notch American Precision Bass with both Precision and Jazz Bass® pickups, a lacquer finish and a maple fingerboard. Features American made, classic Precision Bass, lacquer finish, maple neck and fretboard made to Tony's specs in Olympic White and Gold Amber, which is a unique new color. Tony worked with Fender's R & D to create pickups made to his specs in the pursuit of tonal balance. Blending the characteristics of both the pickups makes an already cool bass even better with a unique combination of specially voiced pickups, modern C shaped neck with a 9.5" neck radius, lacquer finish and a special color only offered on this bass.
