Legion Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I'll sort some pictures later (or tomorrow) but this is a very early example in sunburst with the headstock signed by Tony Franklin himself. I'm pretty sure this, and the SZ7***** serial number means it is one of the first 50 off the production line when this bass was introduced. Its all in standard trim, including D tuner, excellect condition with only scuffing of the pickguard and one small impression dent on the back. Original case in good condition. The neck has yellowed nicely over the last 7 years so it doesn't have that anemic look thats common. Plays and sounds great, not much more to say really. Oh, the weight is just over the 9lbs mark and the bass has an unusually robust feel about it. Not sure if thats the weight or what, but it feels indestructible compared to the other TF's I've owned. *SOLD* Jas Edited March 29, 2014 by Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Bump for a seriously nice bass, I have fretted and fretless of this model: probably the best regular Fender with Custom Shop quality.

Thanks. [/quote] There are dots on the neck at the fret position which I find completely natural to use, here's a quick picture to demonstrate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Wonderful basses. I have a 2007 model too and as Gareth says, the build quality is equal to an Custom Shop Fender I've played. I'd be quite tempted to buy this and have it fretted. It would be sacrilegious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
