Matt Freeman unveils signature Squier bass

Matt Freeman of Rancid, Operation Ivy and his own Devil's Brigade, has unveiled his own signature Squier bass. The guitar is modelled after his mid-'70s Precision bass, and features 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. Freeman adds:

My favorite P Bass is a '77 P Bass that I picked up in 1987 for, like, $400 when I was in Operation Ivy," Freeman said. "I went all over the world with that bass. And I still have it and I actually play it on all the Rancid records. It's not as beat-up as mine. You're gonna have to do that yourself. But it's pretty close, and I love it.

Freeman talks about the bass and his own in a new YouTube interview.
