Sign in to disble this ad
Up for sale is a Fender Tony Franklin signature model. This is the fretted version. This bass is in excellent condition with no scratches or chips. The end of the bass where the strap connects has some black marks that wouldn't wipe off (shown in pic). This is from the strap being connected to the bass, I guess it might be due to the nitro finish since this hasn't happened to any of my other basses in the past. The pickguard also has swirl marks from normal playing wear.
I bought this bass new about a year and a half ago and it has only seen a handful of gigs, otherwise it has been kept in my smoke free home. This bass sounds excellent and has a very aggressive sound with hot pickups. It's the perfect sounding bass for hard rock, IMO. According to the bathroom scale this bass weighs 8.6 lbs. The Fender deluxe hard shell case, tools, and keys are included.
I'm not interested in any trades at this time.
$1,100 Shipped in the Continental US

|  | Registered User | | | | | About the specs of this model:
It is a "B" neck= 1.65 nut width?
What is the front to back profile: chunky meaty like a 70's "B" neck? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Amarillo, TX | | | Yes, I believe the neck would be considered a "B" neck and it is 1.65" at the nut. It is a very substantial feeling P neck, more so than the slimmer feel of my 2008 Am P bass neck. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Amarillo, TX | | | Thanks for the kind words. This really is a great bass, I'm surprised there is not more interest. I'll give it a few more days and then it's off to ebay. If I didn't need the money I wouldn't be selling this bass. |

These are my favorite basses, and I haven't found the white version so close to home. Maybe someone unknown to me will leave me in their will before it sells...
