Papabull Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) A fantastic sounding and looking bass in fantastic condition. Key features include a beautiful nitro cellulose finish on the body, ebony fret board (absolutely clean with NO marks or snail trails) 3 way selector switch that takes you quickly between Jazz, Both and front pick ups. Drop d tuner. The bottom line has to be the sound and this bass has loads of tone and awesome Mwah. Studio use only. Below are some comments/specs from the web... [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]Lightweight solid alder body [/size][/font][/color][color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]This Signature Series Tony Franklin Fretless P-Bass has a solid alder body, which is resonant, but relatively light, which you'll appreciate after two or three hours up on stage. The sunburst version has a brown shell pick guard.. The Tony Franklin Fretless P-Bass is equipped with the Hipshot Bass Xtender for "Drop D" tuning on the low E string.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]Maple neck with modern "C" shape [/size][/font][/color] [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]Leo Fender wasn't a guitar player, so he didn't really know that guitars weren't supposed to have maple necks. Eventually, the blond maple necks became a Fender trademark. The Tony Franklin Fretless P-Bass has a nicely balanced maple neck with a modern "C" shape.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]Unfinished ebony fingerboard [/size][/font][/color] [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]While Fender became quite famous for its blond maple necks and fingerboards, Tony Franklin wanted something more in keeping with the old traditional upright basses. So the Tony Franklin Fretless P-Bass features an unfinished ebony fingerboard, which is the perfect complement to the maple neck and helps give this bass its distinctive sound.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]Two specially voiced pickups [/size][/font][/color] [color=#2D2D2B][font=Times][size=4]While the P-Bass has traditionally come equipped with just one split single-coil pickup, Fender equipped this Signature Series bass with an upgraded P-Bass American Series pickup plus a Tony Franklin Signature Series Jazz Bass bridge pickup with hex screw lugs and ceramic bar magnets. This delivers a wide range of bass voicings, from vintage to modern.[/size][/font][/color] Edited January 13, 2017 by Papabull
