I have an '06 SB Highway One Jazz that is my favorite (and only) bass. It would be hard to find a better neck; it just feels great. I'd like to swap the stock parchment pick guard for a tort one. Can anyone tell me what model # and vendor fits? Thanks!

Here's an action shot haha. Not really sure of the year...05 maybe? Replaced the stock bridge with a badass, replaced pickguard, setup, and shielded it. Thats about it. Plays like a p bass should.

I originally bought this 2007 Highway One Jazz body to do a Nash style relic job. I bought an All Parts neck and some vintage 60's reissue pickups and something just didn't feel right. I ended up parting it out and selling everything. I had sold the body and then had it stolen and had to refund the money. I ended up recovering the body and I found a 2008 Highway One neck on ebay and dropped in some Quarter Pounders. I would have to say this is by far my favorite bass right now.:hyper:

I will take number 15 if it's available.:D

I won a Highway 1 Precision on Ebay this weekend. I used the "make an offer" feature(Best thing to happen to ebay in years) and got it for $625, brand new, free shipping! :D

I can't wait to for it to arive. It's sunburst, but i plan on putting on a black or shell pickguard. Probably black though, to complete the 70s theme.

I'm really excited, as this is my first upgrade from my squier jazz, which i've had for 6 years now. I was just time for a second bass. :p

I'll be sure to post pictures.

more pics when i get some a chance.

but, first thoughts:

I love the way the finish and neck feels. It was set up great, perfectly straight neck, Action was lower than i'm used to, but thats no problem. I hear alot of smack about the greasebucket tone, but so far i like it. I mean you can turn the tone fully down and still get a usable tone, on any other based I've played you just get mud when you do that.

With the town 3/4 quarters of the way down, some light palm muting and a pick, i can get this great deep sound, perfect for reggae or r n b. I'm in love!

I also like that it came with a gig back and all the "case candy" i guess i'm just used to squiers, which only come with dinky allen wrench.
