Do you know what the bass weighs?

That’s a great bass! I ordered that new from Fodera! 

Is this still available?

Great bass and great seller!

Ally bought my Squier medium scale p bass. Great communication and fast payment, very easy to deal with! Highly recommended!

The original Urge 1 had 3 pickups no? I have a pink one and has 3 pickups. 

And no, I’m not selling it 😆😅😄

Yes it did, 2 J pickups and a P pickup in the middle. This is the Urge 1 Standard, a more affordable model, so it just came with the 2 J pickups.

Looks amazing. Is that an ebony board? Or just really dark rosewood?!

It’s a rosewood board. Think it looks a bit darker in the pics.

Ah cool ... that's a tidy looking set up too.   I'm in The West Midlands buddy TF11 postcode 

As far as I know the courier service I normally use is still operating so I should be able to ship it no problem. I can include shipping in the price too. 

It is active, there’s a 9V circuit in it. Where are you based?

Is that the one I sold? If so it’s ridiculous! If not - I had one of these, about 7lbs...and it was wonderful. 

Hi Andy,

I don’t think it is. I bought it from a guy in the States. The flight case didn’t come with it either, it’s just one I had that I bought for another bass I had but sold since, I prefer using gigbags. 👍🏻

Selling this rare medium scale Squier P Bass. It’s an E serial number (just after the JV series) from the mid 80’s as far as I know. Plays and sounds great. Easy to play too with the medium 32” scale as it’s more compact than a regular P and it’s nice and light too at 7.5lbs! Has quite a few chips and dings but I guess that’s to be expected for a 35 years old bass!
Comes with a Fender gigbag. 
 
I’m not looking for any trades!

Selling my Fender Stu Hamm Urge 1 Standard Bass. Picked this up last year but haven’t used it much. It’s in excellent condition. These were in production from 1993-1999. Its 32” medium scale and has a downsized body so it’s really easy to play and it’s very lightweight. 2 Jazz pickups and the controls are stacked volume/pickup pan and stacked treble and bass. 
Comes with a heavy duty flight case or can ship in a smaller box with the neck removed if required.

Specs:

• Poplar Body
• Maple Neck
• Rosewood fingerboard
• 24 frets
• 32” scale
• 7.3lbs
• ‘Licensed by Schaller’ tuners

I’m not looking for any trades.

There was a thread on TalkBass about this way back when and Bo from Lakland/Hanson  advised that they are made by ESP in China as cheap option for the Japanese market.

I wouldn’t exactly say a “cheap option”! I’d say a more affordable option for them than importing from the States!!!

 Hi, where the bass is produced in Japan or where? You cover the shipping cost to England or EU?

Cheers!

As far as I can see online these are made in Japan for the Japanese market.
Yes I’ll be covering the cost of shipping within the EU! 

Picked up this Lakland Skyline SK-5DX recently but the 35” scale isn’t for me so I’m moving it on! Has some marks and dings but nothing that affects the playability or sound. It’s a limited edition model from Japan with Duncan Designed pickups and 3 band preamp! 
Comes with a gigbag.
Price includes shipping!

Mine has to be Jaco Pastorius! His sound was legendary and people still try to cop it over 30 years later!

I reckon you need a 33.3” scale Ritter Cora in red next - not least because I have one to sell 🤣

If I didn’t have a wedding to pay for next year I might’ve considered it! 😫😂

Yes, that’s definitely the one - I remember the initial panic of shipping internally in the UK because it was impossible at the time to get anyone to cover the full insurance value!

Lovely bass. I was going to keep it personally at first but then a full custom Yin Yang became available so I took that instead. 

With hindsight I think I preferred this one. 

May have to stick a Ritter or vintage Fender up for sale now, lol. 

Ya I personally think it’s one of the nicest ones I’ve owned so far! If it wasn’t for the fact that I know it would definitely get dinged up if I gigged it (as we move around quite a bit on stage) I’d be using it all the time but it’d be a shame for that to happen as it’s in excellent condtion.

I’ll need to check my records but I think this may be one of the first Foderas we imported at BassGear. 

It certainly looks the same topwood but it was signed by Vic originally  

I’m back home in a couple of days so can look more then. 

The certified pre-owned service was a complete review of all parts. Not everything would be replaced if it was still current but anything new (like the preamp) would have been swapped out and the slightest tarnish or mark on hardware would mean that would be replaced too. 

Thoroughly cleaned and then set up as new, usually by Vinnie or Joey back in those days

The attaches pic is from June 2010 so timing seems about right. If it is the same one I think it went over to Scandinavia from us. 

Yes I’m pretty sure that’s the very same one! I also remember this actual bass was reviewed in Bass Guitar Magazine back then too. I still have the copy of it!

I will measure it when I get home.. Although the bridge allows for lateral movement so it is variable depending on where it is set. 

Ok thanks. 

What’s the string spacing on this?

On Hold!

How did the sound change because of the movement of the bridge? Did you loose the mids?

 

At first I thought it did as it was a bit fuller sounding than my last Roscoe (as I tend to always run my EQ on the bass flat) but I got it back a bit when I lowered the height of the neck pickup. Plus the EQ on the Roscoe/Bart pre is great so there’s loads of scope for shaping your tone there too.
