jackotheclown Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) I have finally decided to sell my Fender Urge bass at last after a lot of debating with myself.. I don't want to trade as I could do with the money rather than another bass. The bass itself is in great condition with the odd little dent on it but it adds to the character of the bass if you ask me! You can see these little marks on the pictures I have enclosed. This instrument is American made, looking at the serial number I think it was made around 1992/3. So here are the specs: Alder Body, Maple Neck, 32" Medium Scale Fingerboard. Active pre-amp comprising of the following; 2 Jazz bass pick-ups in bridge and neck positions, 1 Precession bass pick-up in centre, Master Volume Jazz bass pick-up Blend on a concentric potentiometer, 3-Position Mini Pick-up Selector Switch selects either the Jazz bass Pick-ups, the Jazz bass & Precession bass pick-ups, or the Precession bass Pick-up alone. Bass cut & boost, Treble cut & boost 4-Position rotary switch selects Passive, Active Treble boost, Active bass boost and Master Off modes Black Gototh machine heads, Gold bridge with through body stringing. The bass has a electric blue finish, I haven't seen any other Urges this colour and I fitted it with a black scratch pad instead of the original white one because I think it looks a lot prettier! It also comes with an original Fender case which provides the instrument with the care and protection it deserves. There are no marks on the bass case, also I will enclose a detailed key of what the controls do and how to use them on this bass. Slapping sounds awesome on this bass and tapping sounds great too. Its a very versatile instrument which can provide the player with a variety of beautiful sounds! As the bass can either be traditional jazz/P bass passive sound or a amazingly responsive active beast these basses are becoming collectors items. I have looked at a few going on Basschat and one went for £950 I guess these basses hold there value. I'm now willing to accept £750ono for my Urge. So if your interested please PM me. Here are the pics, I also have a few more if anyone would like to see them again, PM me. Edited February 11, 2012 by jackotheclown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-basser Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Can't afford it, sorry, but I can attest to the quality of these basses. Probably the most versatile and playable instruments I have come across. Whoever does buy this will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloc Riff Nut Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Nice bass, but I have a question regarding the Topic page. To the left of the title there is an exclamation mark( to the right of the suitcase). What does it indicate? Sometimes there is a smiley next to the title of other threads.

Smash Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Would love to try this bass, I previously bought a Stu Hamm Urge II bass as I wanted 2 basses in 1, a precision and jazz but sadly it didn't sound like either, very very bright and I would say more for slapping which I do not do. How does this bass sound compared to that? is it darker at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your interested you could come and try it out, I doubt you will find the same model in a bass shop as I have never seen one. I'm in south Manchester at the minute if your near why not come and see if you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't just bought my Zoot fretless I would have been after this, since I love Stuart Hamm's tone - although recordings with the first Urge bass are actually very few!
