    Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Lake Placid Blue

    Thanks Dr. Cheese, I will! I do have a question for you since you’ve seen other examples of this model- the one I received has a bit of a vintage tint to the maple neck, do the black and sunburst have this? Many photo I’ve seen look as though they don’t.

    Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Lake Placid Blue

    Thanks! The LPB looks really nice on this bass model in my opinion. It is really multi-hue in different light with a nice metal flake. I will say this, the stock Fender strings were not good. One winding on the E string between the F#and G bulged up and created an unattractive buzz when playing...

    Here’s my LPB TF. Finish is flawless. Still working on getting it set up just right for me. My photos are not good, anything that looks off are tricks of the light. I did F1 the fretboard as it was quite dry when I got it. It’s been many years since I had a fretless, but taking to it well.

    What Bass Players solo albums do you recommend

    Not a solo album, but sounds like one Niasin (Billy Sheehan) Time Crunch. Here’s Elbow Grease:

    Hello all, would a Gator GC extra long guitar case be a good fit for a SWB? Just got a PRO but didn’t order with case. Thanks. Sorry if this has covered before.

    Mr Chown, I sent you a rather lengthy email about being excited about receiving a SWB Pro to middle USA BEFORE seeing this video. I now know my email could seem a little creepy because it reads like I lifted dialogue from the video! Still awaiting delivery, but soon I suspect. Now about a USA...
