MarkG3 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 ah nice one, I've just come across him today on youtube actually. I'm just really interested to see some Highways but also Highways with some wear on them! Quote
fatgoogle Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I have one, ill get some pics up later. Mines going through some mods at the moment, clear pickguard, 62 wiring, d-tuner etc. Mine has been gigged a lot, its my my main bass and blew all the fender MIA standards out of the water, it has a slightly thinner neck aswell which i like.But it hasnt really got any wear apart from gigging wear. Theres just scratches and a few dings that have removed chips of paint. Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Nice one I look forward to the pics. I found that exactly the same in terms of the MIA as I have one and the Highway is so much better all round! Quote
MarkG3 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 Got some new Delano pups! All fitted and sounds quality, really beefed up the pbass tone and everything sounds clearer. I'll get some pics tomorrow! Quote

TheGreek Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1329154308' post='1538019'] Here's mine - I've had it since Saturday and I'm not overly impressed to be honest - I'll give it a bit to grow on me but I usually know what I like fairly quickly... Bit battered and bruised but lot's of people like the roadworn look apparently.. [attachment=99894:Fender Jazz1.jpg] [attachment=99895:Fender Jazz10.jpg] [attachment=99896:Fender Jazz7.jpg] [/quote] Traded this with Adee - I'm sure he'll be along shortly with new photos... Quote
D.I. Joe Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Sweet thread! Mine's an '07 HW-One precision in Honey blonde. It seems that replacing the scratchplate is a recurring theme with these, as I replaced the WBW with a BWB. Don't know about you guys, but I kind of think that a white plate makes a fender bass look cheap(...ish). I've also fitted a thumb rest in what traditionally is the Jazz thumbrest position, and I've been through phases of fitting an ash tray pver the pickup. I love this bass No decent photos of the bass at the moment, but here is a gratuitous action shot from a jam night - because after all, hahahaha (Sorry - saw that emoticon and had to use it!) Quote
MarkG3 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Haha I love the drummers face! Nice bass! Almost looks white I had to double check you said honey blonde I agree about the white scratchplate, I've never been a huge fan of them either. [quote name='D.I. Joe' timestamp='1331229159' post='1569948'] hahahaha (Sorry - saw that emoticon and had to use it!) [/quote] Haha classic, when you can get some more pics of yours! Quote
MarkG3 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 There's gotta be more highways on here............. Quote
MarkG3 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Thought I would take a few new pics The light spot nearest to the black above and in-between the bridge and scratchplate has randomly appeared so I'm wondering if it's finally starting to wear...... Edited May 5, 2012 by S9_S12_Bass Quote

debwilliams Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Here's mine - recently bought off this forum and looking very much like Dave's old HW. If it is, I guess it's a small world! Deb Quote
dave_bass5 Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 [quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1336322992' post='1644007'] Here's mine - recently bought off this forum and looking very much like Dave's old HW. If it is, I guess it's a small world! Deb [/quote] Its is my old one, and one of the best looking basses ive owned. I really wish they would come with a black PG as stock. Ive had 3 HW's now and all have been fantastic basses. Quote
debwilliams Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Ah Dave! Great news . Your old bass is very much loved and is now named Marcus . Have sent you a PM. Deb Quote
Edlong21 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Here is my Highway One P bass with a vintage bridge, Sorry for the bad quality photo! Quote
Edlong21 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I dont understand why theres so much hate for the HW1's, there amazing basses. I've owed a few now and i loved them all. Much better then the classic, road worn or american standards IMO Quote
KiOgon Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I've been looking for a red P for a while, (I think it's the Duck in me) couldn't believe my luck when this little beauty fell into my hands It needed a clean up, new jack socket, strings & a set-up, now it's P-perfect, unbelievably good to play, wonderful neck, only 8&1/2lbs & just feels so comfortable, it's like getting into bed with your dream girl/boy in satin silk sheets 100% original except for the new Switchcraft, Straploks & strings, I don't believe it had ever been apart & probably the factory fitted strings on Talk about coincidence, lifted the pick guard & the date stamp on it is June 06 2003, exactly 9 years to the day I bought it! Anyway, took it out in the sun for some photo's today It's still a bit shiny after me polishing it up, but it's that lovely Satin Nitro finish, Crimson Red Transparent #38.

MarkG3 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 I have to admit I'm never usually a fan of red basses but that one does look really nice! Quote
Geek99 Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 can anyone advise me if the greasebucket circuit is any good ? Is it worth keeping ? I know some folks have junked theirs. What actually does it do ? Quote
KiOgon Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 There is tons written about the Greasebucket if you Google it, you'll find all the info you need except what it sounds like to you Who do you know that's "junked theirs" - ask them why Quote
Geek99 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I did, - they just said they 'didnt like it'. Anyone care to advise me what it actully does ? I did google it but it wasnt very helpful to be honest. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I believe it stops the slight low end boost you normally get when turning the tone knob all the way down. Have a look here [url="http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html?db=&topic_number=530447"]http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html?db=&topic_number=530447[/url] Edited October 15, 2012 by dave_bass5 Quote

[/quote] +1 I remember reading that it just rolled the top end off without changing anything else Quote
