Squier

Punk legend Matt Freeman is known for his monster bass work with Rancid, Operation Ivy and, more recently, Devils Brigade, and Squier now honors the man and his sound with the new Matt Freeman Signature Precision Bass.

Modeled after his beloved and battle-hardened mid-70s Precision, Freemans Squier signature model features a traditional split-single-coil pickup, contoured basswood body in Black or Vintage White, vintage-tint gloss fast-action maple neck, 20-fret maple fingerboard with modern 9.5 radius, HiMass bridge with four brass barrel saddles and a three-ply black-white-black pickguard.
