???? Description: Tony Franklin Signature Fretless Precision P bass is visiting today for a full review and demo. Honestly, I was quite scared of doing this video because I can hardly play bass… let alone if you take the frets away! After listing to Tony Franklin play his on his YouTube channel, I decided to give it a shot and am quite happy I did! Fretless definitely isn’t for everyone – but I can definitely see how some players prefer these!

This bass looks like so much fun
Thank you for introducing T.F. Fretless bass. I also a big fan of him because of his awesome bass performance and his respectable character.????
Omg this dude sounds like he was born yesterday_ Tony Franklin ? Hell yes_ The Firm was huge_ Saw them 2 X's in concert_ To me Tony was the main attraction_ i mean just listen to those Firm records ! He's the featured player ! Lol_ He IS the Firms sound
A precision fretless is an oxymoron ????
Interesting that he went with roundwound strings. Most fretless bassists use flatwound strings because it doesn't tear up the fretboard as much as roundwound strings.
I tried one of these out today and i actively considered becoming a bass player. What an awesome instrument. (I'm a guitarist, and this thing bonded with me like a perfect Strat does.) Simply beautiful. Especially in sunburst. ????
I have one of these and it took me a little while, but I fell in love with it. Thank you for making this video and reinforcing my purchase. lol.
1,700 $ bass with no cavity shielding.
Noice!
It's the same type of Fretless Bass as a Jaco Pastorius because it has Round Wound Strings
Was this really Trogly playing?
Tony Franklin himself influenced me to get a fretless and I dont regret it one bit. I'm having so much fun with it. Thanks Tony for your encouragement.
As a bass player I don't know how much of a fan of a 3-way selector switch I'd be being used to two volume knobs for my pickups (I play an Ibanez bass with a PJ pickup configuration). I personally really like having the P pickup at around 75% and the J at 100%, makes the low end a lot clearer as opposed to a muddier tone when it's at 100/100, at least on my particular bass.
I been watching you for awhile…you should start getting these musicians to your place and interview them
Fantastic review. The most in-depth one I’ve seen. You really go over the entire bass. Man, have these skyrocketed in price! New are now going for over $2,000 and used for about $1800. Still out of my price range but would love to get my hands on one some day
Blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla for nothing and a poor bass démo to finish that real the man who talk too much it s the man who don't know nothing ,work your touch and forget the price of the bass poor guy…..bass it s just the translator of your finger and your style ….
Tony Franklin is a super nice guy. His first bass was a P he added the pickup selector & Dimarzio, eyeballed the position of the pickup then carved it out with a chisel. Oh he plays DR Sunbeams
????????????
i am so in love with that bass but it's just way too money for me to ever justify. 🙁
The Dot markers are placed in a different position on the neck than a fretted bass. On the TF bass the Dot markers are for Correct intonation. Where as on a fretted bass the dots are at the fret. This is a small detail but A massive step forward so every bass player can play the fretless. and your goal on the fretless is to not sound like a fretless, and from there you get good.
The Firm was Awesome! I picked up a "fretless bass" very recently….mine has the exact same style of neck markers. Just the small side marker dots….no line markers. I was a little concerned….but actually found that if you have something to reference as a tonal center….they aren't that hard to play in tune! Sounds like you are getting it as well! Nice! I do love the sound of the "fretless bass". I got one of the least expensive ones available…and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality!
It sucks that this is the only fretless P-Bass Fender makes.
This bass is an oxymoron.
