Few rock bassists are as closely identified with fretless bass as Tony Franklin. Acclaimed for his innumerable session credits and work with Roy Harper, the Firm, Blue Murder, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and others, Franklin is a devoted and longtime Precision artist and one of the finest modern exponents of the fretless version of the instrument. The Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass delivers his style and powerful elastic tone in a model with classic looks and personalised Franklin features including a modern C-shaped maple neck with an unfretted ebony fingerboard, an American Series Precision Bass neck pickup, a Dimarzio Model J™ bridge pickup, and a drop-D E-string tuner.
