Hey guys I am not very knowledgeable about guitars at all and just received this bass as a gift and I am not sure what exactly it is. It is a Jazz Bass and I think it is a 2000-2001 from the serial number which is MZ0090851. The color is midnight wine from what I have researched. It is made in mexico and my friend told me it was a highway 1? Any help in identifying this bass and what it possibly is worth would be much appreciated!!

Looks like the average Mexican Jazz Bass. Highway 1 basses were made in the USA and had a different finish.

This is a 2000 Jazz Bass Standard, Made In Mexico in Midnight Wine. It is not a Highway One model.

There was no Highway One model until the 2002 model year. So your friend either doesn't know what he is talking about or trying to make more money off of it.

While the finishing is done at Ensenada, Highway One's are marked "Made In USA' and would have a different serial format starting "AM" (for America & Mexico.) Speaking frankly as a former Highway One Jazz owner I'd rather have a 2000 Standard than an early Highway One model again.

Should mention that a 2000 model serial means it could have been made anytime in fiscal year 2000 from July 1, 2000 until June 30, 2001. But serials are not 100% reliable. Also from the photos this one looks to be original, which is good! If it plays ok and the price is reasonable then I'd consider it.
