highwayone Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Only selling this as I needed a sunburst one for a tribute band otherwise I would have kept it as it plays soooo well and has a lovely neck on it. It was made at the corona plant 2007/2008 according to a fender serial dater website and is in flat black with a tort scratchplate( I still have the original white one that was on there from new. It is in great condition with the exception of a couple of tiny dings that I have pictured(the coin in the pic is a 5p piece) and has Fender straplocks fitted( again I have the original strap pins) I am including the gator case with it and fender cloth. The case was at some point leant up a radiator so it has a weird misshapen bit on one side where it melted!!! (no guitarn was in the case at the time!) These HW1's really are a cracking bass and well made unlike the MIM i initially went for but it was terrible build quality( waits for the flood of abuse for slating the MIM hehe!) Looking for £400 collected or can arrange courier for approx another tenner. cheers. Edited July 4, 2012 by highwayone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What's the nut width on this, please? Also, how deep is the neck front-to-back? - is it the same neck profile as the current MIA Precision? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve [/quote] Hi Steve, the nut width is approx 43mm(according to Fender it's 41.3mm) and the neck is about 25mm front to back at the first fret. Not sure if it's the same as a MIA as I haven't any info on them. They are pretty chunky but then again I've been using an Ibanez of late so it does feel chunky compared to that!
