LawrenceH Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Pedantry alert: that is definitely not CAR (translucent red over silver/gold flake), maybe wine red Highway 1?
Robert Manning Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 This is a HW1; you do know that right? Looks cool with the wear and tear! but still maybe a little ambitious asking for 630 when that would have costed 500 new! (the new ones went up to 550, and 600 for SB...then went up a further 50ish, when the 'american specials' came out.
richardd Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 Hi Robert how do you know it is a Highway1

It's also got the satin finish, or at least looks that way on the photos.

steelman Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I may be a bit off the pace here - but I've got a MIM standard Jazz in midnight wine, and it isn't that colour! Satin or roadworn or frenzied attack with sandpaper, mines darker by miles..... Or perhaps someone lied to me me when they sold it to me as midnight wine!!! C
Rayman Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah, that doesn't look remotely like midnight wine to me, I had a MIM P bass in midnight wine, it was much darker than that.
LawrenceH Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 [quote name='richardd' post='1202808' date='Apr 17 2011, 06:25 PM']What is all this sh-t Lawrence [/quote] This sh-t is about the colour not being CAR - it just isn't! Like I said, CAR is a metallic flake colour and when it wears you see either silver or gold beneath the red (which is actually a translucent red layer). But I felt it was slightly pedantic pointing it out, so gave notice! I hazarded a guess that it's a Highway 1 finish because of the wear/colour: looks like a thin, translucent nitro layer on bare wood to me. Never seen polyurethane wear like that especially over a relatively short period of time. Steelman, I remember the MIM 'midnight wine' from a few years ago and it is indeed a darker colour, and solid I think. This looks more like 'wine red transparent' to me, a Highway 1 colour. As others have pointed out, lack of through-body stringing, the badass also says Highway 1. Great, toneful basses.

I HAVE A HW1 AND AN AMERICAN STD and im a fender geek! but still its really nice!, just a little on the cheeky price side of things!

Just, FYI.

LukeFRC Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 if it helps the relicing like that on a USA std put me off big time.... but if it's a HW1 and it's nitro thats pretty good.
