Seller's description

Renowned session bassist Tony Franklin is forever associated with the fretless bass, but his dedication to and mastery of the instrument is only part of what makes the Fender Artist Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass such a special instrument. The drop-D E-string tuner, specially-voiced “P/J” pickup configuration, and unmarked and unfinished fretless ebony fingerboard are all features completely unique to any Fender Precision Bass, but it’s still classically appointed with a maple “C”-shape neck, three-way switching, and an American Vintage bass bridge with four single-groove steel “barrel” saddles. A versatile blend of new and old, timeless and contemporary.
