I've had two (long story). Both lovely. QC seems to be high - they felt like custom shop.

I liked the pickup switch (rather than a blend), but I didn't really need the J sound so I sold both of them. 

If I did need that sound, they'd be somewhere near the top of my list.

One of your vids is on the Bass Direct page for the s/h one...!

Anyone have one of the Tony Franklin Fenders?  I have no idea who he is,  but his fretless PJ looks sweet.

Tony is awesome, he has a fretless tuition course on TrueFire that's great too.

The Tony Franklin fretless is my dream bass, I'm currently, though painfully slowly saving up for a black one.

I keep trying to find a cheaper alternative but nothing touches it.

Keep saving sub.  Gotta keep the dream :)

 

Cheers man, always good to have a dream :)

I keep delving through the used ads in hope of a trade but they never come up.

It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine :)

Such a nice bass, sold my Fretted Tony Franklin last year due to financial problems. Keen to buy another or the fretless. I see loads of videos of Tony playing different fretless basses live, he always uses his fretless Fender on sessions. Maybe he wanted to keep that bass for session work and use bashers for the road. :)
