Bump for pictures and the joy of me getting a bass I have wanted for years.

Fender Highway 1 Jazz, Sunburst, rosewood board, tortie plate, chrome "P" style rotary controls. The plate and P controls are after market. If a buyer wants the original black plastic rotaries putting back on, I will do that. This bass is very well set up, having been serviced by Richard Tomsom, of Tomson Guitars, Wigan, just a few months back. The serial number is Z7 150319. This suggests it is 2007, although Highway 1 became Highway One in late 2006. This is NOT the upgrade with Badass, graphite etc. I am the 2nd owner.The original owner told me that Fender ran out of Badass bridges in 2007 so did another run of the pre-upgrade models, to fill the gap. No case, just a cheap and nasty vinyl gig bag I'm afraid. It's all I can spare. There are a few tiny dinks on the back, but really in very good condition. Reviews of these basses on Ultimate Guitar and Harmony Central, mainly (but not all) good. Cheapest Sunburst I can find is £589, but that is the upgraded, current model. This really is a very good bass, quite light at about 8.7lbs, looks great, plays and sounds well. Reason for sale is that I am picking up probably the nearest I will ever get to my dream bass. More on that later. I am no longer allowed more than 3! If it doesnt sell, "Well, I really tried dear". OK, £375 posted, . £350 collected. I paid £500 plus delivery (mug) early last year, so I think my asking is fair. Photos (sorry, crap mobile but I'll do my best) will follow later today. Please ask any questions. Anyone wanting to come round and have a go is more than welcome. I will also endeavour to play it over the phone, but that is not likely to be today. EBay feedback under karl5066, Basschat feedback under karlfer. Many thanks for looking. Cheers, Karl.

In the unlikely event of this going belly up, could I ask to have 2nd pop at the Duck Dunn please? Similarly, if the new owner doesn't get on with it, could you ask them to let me know? Bump for the Jazz. Cheers, Karl.

Hello again Chris? If you haven't decided to go for cash, the only thing I could offer is a white/rosewood/tortie 70's re-issue non export Japanese Precision, bought from Old Git, of this very manor. 40 mm nut. Few dings but lovely. This bass plus £250. I know it's not what you are after. I adore this bass and will only let it go if I get a Duck Dunn. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80859"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=80859[/url] I have Old Git's original photo file that I should be able to email to a personnal email address. I hope he's OK with me nicking his work? ( it's a bloody sight better than may efforts would be!) I know it's unlikely, but I do have to ask, just on the off chance. I still have cash available as well. Many thanks, Karl.

[quote name='Stag' post='924570' date='Aug 14 2010, 12:41 AM']Well blow me down... I have never seen another one... I also own one of these, and its also been defretted at some point!!! Blimey... small world! Hearin' ya loud and clear on the dings, mine has loads. Must get it out and give it a play sometime, in the meantime have a free bump! In fact here is a picture of mine to add to the Aria love. Cool basses! [attachment=56557:Washburn..._Pro_II2.JPG][/quote] Sorry to nick the thread, but love the Washburn. Wish I'd never sold mine when I allegedly grew up and moved to Fenders! Bump anyway.

Hiya Tom. Sure it will have been suggested, but try some hollowbody basses, like a Cassidy, or perhaps a headless/no body Steinberger kinda thing. I know a few years back I had an active hollow-bodied Fender (HMT? I think). It weighed very little, but boy did it loud! Best of luck mate, Karl.

Ye Gods, that brings back memories. Er, bump.

Please, if you eventually decide to sell the Duck Dunn, could I have 1st refusal? Cheers, Karl.

PS, in the unlikely event you are going anywhere North of Birmingham in the next month or so, would you let me know and perhaps we may be able to arrange to meet up, with one of the cabs going to me? I am in a position to buy one of these cabs before selling my Aquilar 2x10. The only true reason I want an SWR 2X10 is because I am a rig tart, and want it all matching SWR. Especially those lovely Chrome grills! Regardless Ross, good luck and my thanks, Karl.

Hello Ryan. How about some photo's, where you are, and where the amp was made? Cheers, Karl.

For Gods sake somebody buy this before I weaken further. I only live 20 miles away and the need/want calculation is tipping badly. Karl.

Bugger, wish I could play 5 strings! Bargain.
