Versatile Fretless Signature Bass

With the Fender Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass EB Black, Fender tailors an extremely flexible four-string Bass with fretless ebony fingerboard and specially tuned PJ pickup setup to the renowned session bassist from Derby known as the "Fretless Monster". Based on the proven P-Bass design, the fretless Bass also comes with an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with an agile playing "Modern C" profile. Indestructible Hardware in the form of a robust 4-saddle bridge, three Vintage-Style and a practical D-tuner completes the Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass from Fender.

P-Bass with fretless ebony fingerboard

To elicit the Tony Franklin Signature Bass 's signature fretless sound with singing tone development, Fender equips the classically styled Preci with a fretless ebony fingerboard, the flank of which features handy dot inlays to mark the registers. The slim "Modern C" profile of the bolt-on maple neck also promises agile playing characteristics up to the highest registers, while the alder body designed with traditional lines convinces with optimal balance on the strap and on the thigh.

Perfectly tuned PJ setup

The electrical tone conversion of the Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass is handled by a PJ setup developed in close cooperation with English bassists, which transfers the luxuriant sound character of the fretless fingerboard in detail to the amplifier. The Fender Tony Franklin American Split-Coil in middle position delivers the typical growly tone with rich thrust in the low mids, while the Tony Franklin Single Coil with Hex-Pole-Pieces and ceramic magnets at the bridge promises a wiry sound with enormous assertiveness. In addition to the 3-way switch for pickup selection, Fender equips the Tony Franklin Signature Fretless Bass with a volume control and a treble slider to adjust the Bass sound.

Classic Bridge and D-Tuner

On the body a 4-saddle American Vintage bridge with "Single-Groove Barrel" string riders guarantees an exact adjustment of intonation and string position. The headstock of the bass guitar is equipped with three classic Vintage-Style tuners and a practical Hipshot D tuner for the E string, which allows a fast and precise retuning to Drop-D.
