Bought this on a whim. I had owned a Highway 1 jazz bass years ago and always kicked myself for selling it. I spotted one a couple of weeks ago online (new old stock) and pulled the trigger. I gotta say it plays great and once i figure out what pick guard to stick on there, it's going to look great as well. I had heard that most of the bodies on these basses are three piece but can't find a seam. I was also pleasantly surprised that there were no routes under the pick guard. Suggestions for pick guard color welcome!

| | | | I'd go with tort as well. I see one seam on the upper part of the body, but most of it is buried under the burst. |

| | | I agree! With that finish color a Tort pickguard seems like a no brainer!
