SOLD!

Was £475 Was £450 Now £425

For sale is my well worn Fender Highway One, which is fitted(just) with Fender Road Worn Pickups. This has been my number 1 bass since I got it and have loved it, but since getting my Gibson G3, it hasn't seen much playing as I feel the G3 plays and sounds better to me and more what I'm after.

Get yourself a real road worn bass for way less than an actual Fender Road Worn bass!!!!

That said it is a great bass and is the upgraded Highway with a, sunburst nitro finish, I believe it has a graphite re-enforced trussrod/neck and has a Badass 2 bridge.

I am including as well the Fender truss rod tool which is 3/16 inches as seemingly that's the only thing that I have that actually fits the truss rod hole.

Also the strings are about 3 year old Ernie Balls!

From the pictures you'll see there is a lot of wear, there is a small chip out of the back of the neck which I have tried getting in a picture but it doesn't effect the playing in anyway.

The pickups were slightly too big to fit directly in so I had to remove some of the wood behind the scratchplate for them to fit in nicely. If you unscrew the outer two screws on the pickups the scratchplate will come off, but just a note, it takes a bit of jiggling around to get it back on, but it does fit on. Also there isn't any foam under the pickups so they seemingly can't be adjusted, however they are quite low which I prefer so my pick doesn't hit them, or the strings, but it still gives out a good signal.

The tone control is still fitted I've just taped over the hole and tucked it into the cavity, but it doesn't have the knob on it as that always used to come off at gigs so I ended up just getting rid of it years ago and never replaced it.

I'm based in Aylesbury which isn't far from London, Oxford and Milton Keynes just to give you an idea of where I am, but can drive and meet up with whoever is interested in the bass which would be preferred, but I can also post it. I haven't got a soft case or much packaging so if you could bare with me while I get some then I can get it nicely and safely packaged up if that is what you would prefer.

Any questions please ask!
