So thankful for this incredible instrument. This is my stock @Fender signature bass. No modifications or upgrades. What you see is what you get. 🙏🏻

Two of my favorite people celebrated their birthday today, June 9. Gregg Bissonette and Donald Duck. They both make me laugh but one of them plays better drums! 🤩 Happy Birthday to you both 💙 @greggbissonette

1987 with David Gilmour and Kate Bush. A key moment. I almost joined Pink Floyd. I joined Blue Murder instead.
So , I just googled if you had ever played with David Gilmour as I love the bass on his About Face Album. But I just got to see this for the first time. Man I love Kate too, and this song! 👏

Tony Franklin Mystery Solved • Rattling A String
Turns out the solution was pretty easy. After paying a visit to my long time tech / luthier Eric Chaz at Eric's Guitar Shop, all it needed was a change of strings!
See it here 👉🏻 youtu.be/BMb8b_i1Zyo
