    Fender Highway one Precision versus Classic 50s

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted · Edited by Tim Chapple

    I had one of the first Highway One basses, back when they had a standard bridge, skinny neck, easy player, but a rather generic pbass sound.

    I almost ditched the Classic 50's because of the wide neck, I got it used just before lockdown..... since then I've found myself picking it up more and more - it has great character to the sound, and to my ears the wider maple neck adds to the tone.

    I still feel a little clumsy on it, but am now sticking with it.

    Here's a recording I did with it using a Zoom R8 recorder.... it has Roto flats on it now, which seem to suit the wider neck.
