I own an Urge II and I have to say I didn't have this problem. I recently had it set up as my intonation was out but I've had it nearly two years and its the only problem I've ever experienced with it.
How long you had yours and what colour you got? I've never met anyone with another Urge II, everyone on the Stu Hamm forum seems to prefer the Kubicki or the Urge I and not many fans of the Urge II

Hi thanks for the reply, I have had it for 2 years also, colour black I tried loads of basses and this for me with its fast fast neck pick up combo etc were just amazing. So I ordered one, it turned up and then I kept it in its box for this time due to my old band had a certain style and needed a passive bass. I have since returned to the Urge II and realise this bass needs it airing, I then found that just lightly rubbing the strings made loud humming noises and even finger playing, putting your finger anywhere near any pick up would make some kind of electric buzz/click, its really annoying me now as so want to play this but it seems too alive and I don't feel happy that it will sound nice during a gig.
One thing I really did wish it had was an option to go passive then the bass would be everything. I know its only aesthetics but the Urge II looks so much nicer than the Urge I and Kubicki INHO
Thanks
Ash
