FS/FT: Fender Tony Franklin Signature Fretless Precision Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
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.

Woops, guess posting that might help.

Original post updated. For trades I'm primarily looking for amps / cabs plus cash. Cash sale is still a tad bit preferred though. Thanks for checking it out... it's a great bass.

You are going to love it. This is my second... and if it sells there will be a third when funds / slots permit.

Thank you very much for the offer but I'm going to respectfully pass. The F1 is a great amp but I was thinking more along the lines of the LMTube / LMTube 800, LM2/3, Momark or TA-501/503.

Thanks again though.
