For sale or for trade is my MINT Fender Tony Franklin Fretless P Bass in the gorgeous burst finish, with an unlined ebony fingerboard. This thing sounds great and plays very well. It has the American P bass pickup AND the Tony Franklin single coil Jazz pickup, with a 3-way selector switch giving you three very easily selected, very killer usable tones, along with whatever flavor you wish to dial in with the tone knob.
I'm asking $1275 shipped and insured to the continental US, in its original Fender hard case. I have this and my Bongo up for sale, and once one of them is sold or traded, the other will no longer be for sale.
