[quote name='Robert Manning' post='1210130' date='Apr 24 2011, 04:53 PM']Indeed!, very well made!, i had the fretted version too! which was lovely [/quote]

[quote name='lapolpora' post='1210089' date='Apr 24 2011, 03:29 PM']The bridges around 1994-95 had bolts in place of the string mute/spring/thumbscrew assembly. They can be retro-fitted and now with the Classic series they are available again. I bought my mutes/springs from Mark at Bass Direct. The bridge needs to come off to fit them. They cost me all of £25 delivered [/quote]


Thanks man!,
robert

Indeed!, very well made!, i had the fretted version too! which was lovely

Used it, about 10 times at college, and at home. Never used it seriously! saying that its is pretty awesome for the price.

•german made hardware
•just a nut 2
•easily removable cavity, all magnetically shielded too!
•well i don't really need to explain the bass to you all, i suppose you can do a quick google search to finds amy exact specs of the bass.
•Sorry no trades!, unless its a carl tomson/jaydee/alembic. (yes im joking)

[quote name='gafbass02' post='1209961' date='Apr 24 2011, 12:21 PM']Sounds like where the mutes would go, here's my '92 bridge if that helps

[url="http://web.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/mycustompage0004.htm"]http://web.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/mycustompage0004.htm[/url]

found out mine is a 'flea' trans bridge!, or something. no string mutes, but i could install theme simply

I have a 94 stingray..

with the older larger style bridge with serial number stamped onto it.
okay, so there are four allen key bolts in front of the bridge saddles, and a small gap underneath the bridge and the body...
am i right in thinking this is where string mutes would go?! there bolts arnt hand adjustable like the other old music man basses ive seen... can some one help me identify if string mutes can be added?
or am i being silly and there just to hold the bridge on securely!

please help!

If he didn't advertise this bass as a HW1 it would have been because he didn't know it was a HW1, I am sure. So lets stop kicking the man[/quote]


Everyone is nice on bass chat?!
I'll keep hush in the future! didn't mean to upset anyone.
sorry everyone, am i now going to be famous for being nasty? i have a topic with my name on it! :/

[quote name='richardd' post='1208730' date='Apr 22 2011, 10:50 PM']For Some [/quote]


Didn't mean to upset/annoy/course controversy toward you. just letting you know that your bass was a highway one.
pop it on eBay, and you will get a decent amount for it. just not bass chat, because the fender geeks know a lot on hear!!!
sorry.

[quote name='AsterL' post='1206556' date='Apr 20 2011, 11:01 PM']Sorry man, I cant stand rosewood boards, dont like the sound or looks of them. Though on a black bass it looks great, good luck with the sale/trade of it.


Nope would only be looking for a trade for something maple, and fenderish

Also I'm based down in Portsmouth, I think I am one of the only few down that far south![/quote]


im based down south!

No, robert manning.

SWAPED FOR A NICE STINGRAY IN NARUAL, HAPPY DAYS.

[quote name='noelk27' post='1207779' date='Apr 22 2011, 12:54 AM']Comments about the exact model or the official name of the colour are all fine, but comments on the pricing, even if you have legitimate concerns that it may be on the high side, are contrary to the rules of the forum. Just, FYI.[/quote]

Okay, just not good, seeing honest people being ripped off.

[quote name='Dubs' post='1205090' date='Apr 19 2011, 07:05 PM']That's the most interesting way of spelling 'bought' that I've seen on these pages. It's like a combo of 'brought' and 'bought' but with an 'a' thrown in for extra grammatical funness [/quote]

Hey I'm dyslexic I can't spell to save my life! :/

Bump, anyone interested?

If thats around in a month or so, ill take it of your hands! (if i can get money sorted!, always wanted a black on black!)

[quote name='steelman' post='1204260' date='Apr 18 2011, 10:59 PM']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!!!

MIM midnight wine is different to the hw1 midnight wine!, dont worry no one lied to you

[quote name='richardd' post='1204126' date='Apr 18 2011, 08:52 PM']Hi Robert how do you know it is a Highway1[/quote]

trust me.. its a HW1. nitro finish (the lovely thin lacquer that wheres in like that)

its not stung through body

its has a skunk stripe on rear of neck

the truss rod adjustment is on the top of the headstock

there tuners are mexican

its one of the older HW1's without graphite support in the neck, and baddass bridge.

trust me.. 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!

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.
