Kev Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Up for sale is this lovely Fender Highway One US Precision Bass. Discussed Here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249339-highway-one-in-bass-direct/"]http://basschat.co.u...in-bass-direct/[/url] Purchased from Bass Direct here: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Precision_Highway_One.html"]http://www.bassdirec...ighway_One.html[/url] I bought this on a complete whim because it was such a cheap price for a lovely US Fender, however I am not a Fender man and never will be, so I'm quickly offering this back up at the same bargain price. Apparantly Mark at Bass Direct had 4 other buyers trying to buy the bass the same time I did, feel a little bad that I am moving her on already, hopefully someone who tried to buy before will get there first this time! This is the second version of the Highway One with the Nitro finish, badass bridge and baselines pickup. It is in a naturally reliced condition and has been gigged, really lovely looking instrument. Lightweight, plays great, freshly setup by Bass Direct with a low action and new strings. I will include the BD invoice and it comes in the soft gig bag.

warwickhunt Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Lovely looking thing. Is it a trick of my monitor/screen but does it have someone's name on the back of the body... possibly under the paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I noticed that, I think it may have something written in UV pen on the back, I don't know how it got picked up by Mark's camera as I cannot see it! Certainly nothing you can see on the bass in real life though, perhaps when the sun is at 48 degree angle to the ground and a full moon is due it appears....

leroybasslines Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That looks fantastic! Are you considering trades?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1416863003' post='2614536'] Looks like Max Kahn - bass player in Leeds [/quote] Yup, that fits. I guess it used to be his then Like I say, not visible at all unless you shine a light directly on it at the right angle, even then it is nowhere near as visible as it is in that BD picture. [quote name='leroybasslines' timestamp='1416863924' post='2614555'] That looks fantastic! Are you considering trades?! [/quote] Not really as it has already been replaced by a new purchase, but it can't harm to ask (by pm please). EDIT: looks like this may already have gone, will update when confirmed.
