Chris2112 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited April 22, 2008 by Chris2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Sharkfinger Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 The Fender Urge is a really good bass and very comfortable to play. Chris is a great guy to deal with, so buy with confidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
