Fender Highway One Jazz Bass [2006-2011]

Low of 2009 made in USA.
I have the upgraded version of the so she has a badass bass II bridge very massive
A matte nitrocellulose varnish, 2 alnico "vintage" system © grease bucket on the tone knob.
Apart from that nothing significant

UTILIZATION

Well it's a jazz bass, I will not give you the verse on the handle and everything, you know.
Mechanical hold well
microphones are weaklings, not insulated, it crackles all the time ... if we overcome that they have a really cool sound, but it is better to change.
The paint is super thin and super sensitive, but it leaves the wood to expression and low aging better. The varnish patina with age is prettier than before.
The grease bucket system is more annoying than anything else, it saves the highs when the tone is lowered ... the opposite of what we want to do so it is very bad.
A good place for the bridge that offers great sustain

SOUNDS

Suitable to all the people who think like me that jazz bass is anyway roots and a high sound quality is 300 places of what is asked. Because it is still an American jazz bass and is incredibly versatile and can have almost everything to do with! Except that the sound is feeble and ca buzz, it is very rich and serious when we send the pastoral plays! even slap you can easily have a pleasant sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years and it ages very well, better than a standard American.
It plays its role very well Jazz bass, even if others have the most attractive look, do not be fooled by the hype, I paid mine € 850. A standard american listening € 1,200 on average for a bass with the same sound more or less!

Model 2008 or 2009 according to the serial number. Low a priori manufactured in the U.S., may be mounted in Mexico, or vice versa?
Regardless, like any instrument, only to come across one that suits us ... And then it says made in the USA, anyway, in any case everything suggests that the U.S. have the heart to work for this series , well crafted!
Purchased used with a 100w amp H & K 600 € all. Gift.
BadAss II bridge - original pickups (Alnico stuff) - Electronics passive base - Basic Mechanical
Alder body 3 pieces, quite heavy - beautiful maple neck rosewood fingerboard, straight, however shallow saddles one of the meet to be a regular action ...
Although not disappointed with the initial investment, mounting a pair of Fender SCN pickups to see: total transfiguration ...
Highly recommended to boost the bass range from good to very good quality, with higher performance microphones!

UTILIZATION

Its handle modern c is a call to double notes, it is a treat for those who love authentic jazz bass connotation with defects that are not really. The sound is in the fingers ...

SOUNDS

After the update microphones, Fender sounds, huge sustain. Turn the knobs to find your sound and it's good ...
Tremendous versatility in the fingers, without even touching the knobs, wedged permanently. No need to effect (s) in my case, it's a treat to hear produce such a sound!
It sounds good in all configurations, but turns on when plugged into an amp head very punchy!
Last test studio, on a Gallien Krueger 1001 RBII set flat, live up to the table, the engineer was amazed by the sound, wah he did. Wah I also made listening, headphones and monitors, incredible roundness, definition, class too. In the mix with drummer and Rhodes was Motown's style!

OVERALL OPINION

Without regret, after almost a year on every day, past, still weary hours, it is soft, precise.
Good to remember that it is important to keep it well adjusted, from there it is a source of infinite happiness ...
Valid for all instruments combined!
So it is with conviction that I recommend instruments of this range at an affordable price, there are still quite new in, in small shops are closing one after the other ... unfortunately they are no longer the Fender catalog. Those after 2010 are exceptional, they are recognized by their string through. I saw one recently tried very poorly resolved, but it was a good "vibrancy", too, and a perfect finish.
It was for sale 750 € more ...
Do not hesitate to change the pickups, indulge yourself with Fender SCN pickups for example, I validate this choice 100%, after that, the bass is really very good professional sounding instruments.

Small recent story, the classic sunburst body and satin varnish which becomes bright in the long run, have not survived my sander and my spirit custom, some would say sacrilegious. After which I oiled the alder wood with oil and natural shade, slightly colored, just superb, and, believe it or not, once the wood in the open air, just oiled, I think the sound yet taken another dimension ...

Fender Jazz Bass Highway 1 (new version (Upgraded)) Made in USA.
Alder body, maple neck.
* 20 Medium Jumbo Frets
* 2 Alnico Vintage Jazz Bass Pickups
Enjoy microphones (2 knobs, one for each microphone) plus the tone, quite simple, but effective.
* Badass Bass Bridge 2
Super bridge, much larger than the classic Fender, but the sound lasts much longer, has more sustain ... great!

Note the new finish, which is superb, it reveals the grain of wood behind the coating, which is very nice, even if it spoils more easily ... in any case, it's going to side with the big sound and the vintage Jazz Bass!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to play, versatile enough to sound a Passive, I was quite surprised by the possible settings, very pleased with the Vintage Jazz Bass pickups, Badass Bass Bridge combined with 2, it becomes dangerous, the sound harsh and it is warm, rich ....( a try anyway .... you will see store)

Weight levels, it's still decent, I remember exactly ...
For access to acute, you're on Jazz Bass 20 Frets, so you must not ask too much ... but it's pretty simple to play, the handle is very easy to play.

SOUNDS

I play Jazz, Blues and Blues-Rock .... It is perfect you will soon arrive at his desired. I play a Fender amp (a rumble) it goes well, there's no problem, we spend a little hot fat and a more mettallique very easily, I also play (and especially) on an Orange Amp, then it is happiness for more settings, and the possibility of a more harmonically rich and hot! We also do not slap it, although I'm not a fan, it goes very well ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, she has been waiting a long time after an out of stock, it took the order ...
I love everything about this bass, the varnish is superble it jazz bass sound, it is versatile, easy to play .... What a Jazz Bass!

I pay a little cheaper as ordered in Germany (MusicStore) For a low manufactured in America, I think it's great ... especially with the pickups and the bridge which really gives a little more, the coup Fender has forgotten to put the "Case Fender" ... Too bad, but hey the price was added to the instrument I ....^^ not hesitate long to choose, it was really her that I wanted after trying it!

I would do this choice because it is perfectly sound I was looking for ...

-A very good place for the beautiful is that it is a U.S. real thing uen good entry level but a USA anyway: p and compared to Mexico I try I must admit that the sound n ' it has nothing to do telment more accurate!

Single-configuration as the U.S. head microphones and one of the Calita change U.S. patent high-end ... the varnish is very thin so easy but I scratched maniac who am completely in the limit of opsesion (lol) it does not break me vrement of problem but a good vieu Bourin slapeur or crazy: p will quickly uen vintage bass lol

Jazz-a sleeve is water and end it is ergonomically ^ ^ I see not only add more pe ej ^ ^ getting started is easy

UTILIZATION

-The neck is very pleasant its slides vrement itself is great fun to play with such an instrument

Acute-CCAA is very easy even when it's a Fender p

-A little heavy perhaps, but personally j'iame to have an instrument that weighs the weight I cabinetmaker and I know that its heavy woods plsu often the best ^ ^ reassured me on one side
I know me some rpefere the instrument light

We obtain a very corect its easy after his depends on the amp that one possesses
I use it on uen Marshall MB450 head and going super!

SOUNDS

A low-jazz's suitable for all styles of music I ISAF rock blues and a little funk (a little) and it goes super low uen of the most polivalante that can exist

Am-a type of sound you seeing her through her works perfectly well a distortion with a lot of fat gain Jusko's clear warm and well rounded.

He must take on this particular instrument as its price on the site allemend vrement is very affordable
