I recently bought an american Highway One Jazz Bass, and I was told that the sound is the same as the American standard. can anyone tell me please if there is really a difference?

P.S - I already know about the type of wood, the paint, the white pickguard and the rest of the look. I just want to know if I really saved 300$ :)

on the new american standard basses they have the S-1 switching system, which i love, it allows me to change the sound of my p-bass so it sounds kinda like a jazz bass.

The biggest difference between an American Standard and a Highway 1 is that the Highway 1 is built for functionality and durability, not so much looks and accesseries.

The Highway one has nitro lacquer and is built to be beaten up basically. It is an entry level US guitar. The US Series has a poly lacquer, S-1 switching, upgraded pick ups. Not better, but different. I love the Highways! And the new ones have Badass bridges and Grease Bucket tone controls as standard!!

Love it!

Does the Highway One have a graphite reinforced neck. I saw a review that indicated it did but have seen nothing to that effect on Fenders website.
