I have one of these as my main bass (but just with standard pickups and preamp, I didn't feel a great need to change them), and they are absolutely cracking. So good I sold my Status Stealth bass after getting it!

[quote name='Mike' post='217553' date='Jun 12 2008, 12:56 PM']I think this wins the "worst for sale thread" award - and frankly there's been some serious competition![/quote] I think you could be right about that!

It's taking all my strength right now not to buy this thing...these basses really are the mutts nuts! As has been said, they come from a time when Peavey made a serious effort to put out a range of great instruments (instead of just the Cirrus series and Van Halen guitars). As a result, these B Quads and the Palladium basses really impress everyone who gets their hands on them. I don't need to say it, but I'll reiterate some of the good things about it. Graphite neck, piezos, gloss-finished fretboard, impeccable build quality. These things sound bloody class (about as close to my ideal fretless tone as it gets, if I can't sound like Bakithi Kumalo, I'll happily take the sound these things make!). Someone, buy this and save me from myself and my late night GAS attacks!

The Urge II us the best bass ever (IMO) Cheers Will[/quote] Well, it's the same profile as the Urge I, as far as I know, the profile was kept the same, just "scaled up" for the Urge II! But it was a very nice neck I'll admit! Still loving your Urge II Will? Ain't seen you on MSN for a while (Is the Street_rider address defunct now?). Got some good news today too, I see that Stuart is going to be touring with Joe Satriani again, which is a pleasant surprise as I have front row, center tickets for the Newcastle show!

I recently bought this Urge bass from Frank (known round here as a Sharkfinger). It's the Standard model of the Urge bass, made in Mexico. Same as the American Urge but with a poplar body, rosewood fingerboard and no precision pickup. Basically what we have here is a lovely 32" scale active jazz bass with 24 frets then. It's in very good condition for its age, with just a small scratch, a little ding and some mild bucklerash. It's certainly nothing serious, just in the clearcoat, and I've highlighted the scratch with a photograph of it for your purposes. It's all in working order, and sounds fantastic. The 32" scale is very comfortable (something I liked about my Kubicki, I'm a bit of a Stu Hamm fan so it's nice to have a signature bass of his!) and the body is quite small, so it takes well to being worn high. It's also very light (7.2lbs), the lightest bass I have owned apart from my Hohner (which is also for sale here). I'll probably regret this sale later, as I do love the sound of jazz basses, but I guess I have to do this! As I say, I only received it a little while ago, though my parents decided today to tell me it was about time I started paying board. Hence I'm having to sell this one, as with board and the costs of Uni, things are just looking a bit bleak for me! I paid £350 for it delivered, I'd like that, but feel free to make me an offer if you wish. This advert is, after all, an invitation to treat. I still have the packaging materials, so I can ship it out as soon as. Here are some photos: *******Hohner Jack Bass is SOLD********* I've done business round here with a few guys recently, just ask if you need references. I can also PM you my mobile number if you want to chat about the basses. Thanks for looking! Chris

Any pictures of the Ibanez available?

You have PM.

I find them really uncomfortable to play though, I think it's the top strap button position, seems to push the bass to the left making the first 3 - 4 frets a real stretch. Still, at £800 you won't buy better.[/quote] Regardless of what you think of Warwick and Thumbs, it should be said that this bass is a little bit of history, and compared to the used prices of "lesser" NT and BO thumbs, this one is by all means a bargain.

[quote name='Dillsfretless' post='166069' date='Mar 29 2008, 07:56 PM']Interesting Bass. always liked them since Stu Hamm first played one. Unfortunately I'm a 5 string guy.[/quote] Although it should perhaps be noted that Stu played the Ex-Factor basses that tuned from the bridge and had the 36 piece neck. I still miss my old Ex-Factor on the occasion. These Key Factors are indeed cracking basses.

How much for the Godin?

Surprised to see one of your Vigier basses for sale! However, I've chatted with Chris a good few times about basses, and he has nothing but good things to say about his Vigiers! I'm sure whoever takes this off his hands will love it. It looks like a cracker!
