I managed to purchase mine (the black Tony Franklin Fender Fretless Precision) only yesterday! IT IS PARAMOUNT!!! Black, Bold & Beautiful...and its Ebony fingerboard is...buttery...I truly adore it!
Anyone know how to do power chords on a fretless? I can't seem to master that one technique since the two higher string fingers have to align at the same position which seems to be near impossible to do traditionally with 3 fingers, or am I just too spoiled with frets? Its the only thing I find to be at least "my" limitation/weakness on a fretless. As far as everything else goes, I love the fretless P with that vintage beefy P neck, it's a total tone monster!
You man rock!!! I like the way you sing with your bass, the things you say show also the way for how to listen... I hope you are high as I am right now. Peace from Chile!!!
@widepass YOU are fucking lame. You have contributed exactly nothing in the way of your own music videos. Stick to world of warcraft in your mom's basement. Tony Franklin's navel lent is cooler than you can ever hope to be.
You guys Make me laugh my ass off. I really whish they had the ignorant peoples hall of fame. Cause you guys would be the top contenders. You people are so into your hate music that has absolutly no color in it whats so ever. Just bland crap . Tony Franklin has played with the best talent around not to mention that bass was made with his name on it
Hence the Name the Tony Franklin frettles Base. It's easy to identify some one who blow balls, when you are an expert at it yourself. "PUTZ"
...I respect your point of view, but i think music (and art in general) is not like sports...you can't tell "A" is better than "B"...we are talkin about pro level...
I wish i could play like tony franklin (and with guys like page, coverdale, sykes) and having comments like i'm not good player.... 8-)
Thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the video! Is this the kind of music you're in to, have you used any of our loops before? There are lots more videos like this on our channel- check them out and let us know what you think!

His bassline at the end of Blue Murder's "Jelly Roll" is my favorite of all time. Super melodic and very emotional- take a listen sometime!!

Tony Franklin is one of the best bass players ever! Check out the first BLUE MURDER album or the MOLLO/MARTIN CD 'The Cage2' - mega-bass playing!

Tony Franklin: Master of the pentatonic scale. He really knows how to jam on that minor pentatonic scale.

This bass sounds just like the Steve Bailey 6 string. You can hear the ebony fretboard a mile away.
