Over priced original Urge, they are not that rare or desirable. Also note in the conditions that he will not supply additional pictures, there's good customer service for you.[/quote]

That guy sounds like a complete tosser.

I've got one of those, albeit without all the trimmings, and it only cost me £600. They are not that rare - they seem to come up on Ebay once or twice a year - but it is a brilliant bass, so I'd have to agree with him that it is very desirable.

For the money he's asking you could buy a new Urge II, although you'd have to put up with the 34" scale.

Edited to say : Actually you could have a new Urge II and have several hundred pounds left over.

I don't know why but I find that so hilarious... I've got it bookmarked and sometimes I look at it for a little giggle. It's just the lovely roundness of £10,000 that makes it so damn funny. I guess I'm pretty easily amused... :)

Even though everyone else charges the postage cost plus maybe a little more

What sort of idiot buys boxes anyway? They're free! Packing tape is 2 for a pound too!

This is just a bit of a stretch, if you ask me.

Been here before. Genuine screws from a '62 strat can make hundreds of pounds difference to the value of the whole instrument for collectors .. how you tell they are genuine is another story
