[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1401449128' post='2463720'] Actually this thread is making me doubt selling it. I have a rehearsal tomorrow - I might take the Urge instead and see what happens. [/quote] Don't sell If you doubt. My experiences thought me that I should be 100% sure that I will not miss that bass.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1401396893' post='2463332'] I have one and I love it. Very versatile bass indeed. [/quote] I saw yours on sale. GLWTS. Can you get real P bass sound?

I installed JC 4 HE/M2 in an Ibanez SR I used to have. Great bottom end. Probably the best lows among all Delano jazz PUs. You should check them out.

+1 for Tort. Black pearl would be another option for me though.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1401383969' post='2463110'] They haven't hit the collectors' market yet and, to be honest, I'm not sure they ever will. Whilst collectors like anything with a rarity value they also look for stuff that stays pretty true to the original design ethic of an instrument (there are always exceptions to this of course!) and the Urge basses are quite a long way from a simple Fender J or P. In the main they seem to sell for less than their equivalent standard models from the same year. Personally I really like them but I certainly wouldn't look at getting one with a view to a future investment sale [/quote] Thanks for the reply Molan. Very well explained. So can we say that Rarity vs Original Design here?

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1401372869' post='2462930'] Ah, that's right I think. I payed a 32" years ago it seemed very fast - if you see what I mean. What colour? [/quote] Yeah I see. I read many good comments about their neck. Were you happy with the sound? The color is very dark bright blue. Fender names it as bright sapphire metallic or something like that I think.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1401372269' post='2462916'] Is it the 32" scale or 34" scale. [/quote] I beleive it is one of the 34" scale ones. I think the Urge 1 models are 32" scale but I may be wrong.

Hello BCers, I have a chance to trade one of my basses which I don't play with 2005 Fender Urge II Bass (Stu Hamm Signature). I am just wondering if they are collectable pieces and if they will be in vintage/valuable category in 15-20 years. I know that it is not possible to see the future but I am just curious to know what Fender experts think Thanks, GC

[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1389204931' post='2331366'] Try posting in the EUB/Double Bass forum - you'll probably have more luck. In fact if you do a search in the EUB/Double Basses For Sale you should see if any have been sold recently and for how much Hope this helps…... [/quote] Thanks for the suggestion Andy. I thought about posting in the EUB forum but decided to post here at the end as I also would like to get opinions from electric bass users. I will follow your suggestion and post it there though.

bump

anybody?

Hello BCers, I found AI Clarus 2 Series III (used) for sale at a good price (I believe) but I would like to know a bit more about their second hand market value before buying it. Does any of you own/owned/played etc. one and can help me find out about their second hand market prices? I also would like to know how do they sound with electric basses as I am planning to use it with EB. Any answer will help. Thanks and Happy New Year to all of you BCers. GC

Tahanks I will check them all out. Haven't heard fatboys before though.

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1364597530' post='2028801'] I have a Kent Armstrong pup in my Fender Precision and it has great tonal response. [/quote] Is this the one? http://www.wdmusic.com/VPB.html I will check it out. Thanks Any other suggestions?
