Smash Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Thinking of selling my Fender Stu Hamm Urge II Bass trouble is I have no idea what these basses sell for now, I paid £1150 in the Bass Gallery in London 3 years ago, trouble is the bass has a very distinctive tone, very bright sounding ideal for slap and tapping but its not my style. I wrote a passage on the technical forum about the pickups being noisey but since then I have tried another Stu Hamm bass and it is identical, very very hot pickups. Colour is black with tortoise scratch plate and there is one mark/scratch on the bottom of the bass. Reason for selling is I want to buy a 4 string headed Status Stealth Bass, if I find one 2nd hand I would be very happy. £699.99 via Paypal, Includes Postage Now on ebay too Edited September 23, 2008 by Smash
Smash Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Bump. now with some bad pics, the bass looks better in the flesh. Edited June 27, 2008 by Smash
waynepunkdude Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 If it helps i saw a blue one go for £1250 a few weeks back.

I wouldn't ask anything like that, but I really would like to know what it might be worth for someone. It is a lovely piece of wood but just not for me.
molan Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) There's an Urge 1 on EBay right now - might help to give a guide price: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Urge-I-Stu-Hamm-Bass-USA-Made-VERY-Rare-1991_W0QQitemZ150263964183QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150263964183&_trkparms=72%3A12|39%3A1|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Urge-I-Stu-Ha...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Colour is a rather 'fetching' raspberry though Edited June 28, 2008 by molan
7string Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 It's not raspberry (or pink) IT'S BURGUNDY MIST (as I would say when I owned an Urge Mk1 in that very same colour ). £800 seems about the right price for a Mk1 (I sold mine for a little more than that just a week or so ago), so maybe a bit more for an Urge II... I would say that anyone looking for a quality precision or jazz bass should have a serious look at this bass. Essentially it's the best of both worlds but with more tonal options as it contains both passive and active circuitry. These basses don't come up too often and I'm sure that the person who buys this bass will be extremely happy with their purchase !!

May consider trades with a cheaper bass and cash my way or status stealth 4 string headed. let me know.
niceguyhomer Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I played this bass yesterday and it's a fantastic instrument. Ash is a top bloke too - buy with confidence peeps.

Smash Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Try another bump, might have to go to the bay for this.
Smash Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Last bump before the bay, still would swap for another bass, Graphite neck bass, Sandberg, Zon Sonus, or anything try me. £780 Posted, Paypal only.
Smash Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Drat another bump even though I said I wouldn't and a price drop, this is killing me now, its hard times for us all. £765 Posted with Paypal
Smash Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 One last price drop or I will keep it. £750 Posted / Paypal
Smash Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 Bump.... finding it so difficult to sell at the moment and want to buy new basses, is my price too expensive...

People are skint at the mo' it would seem.
Smash Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 Bump with yet another price drop how about £720 posted via paypal
Smash Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Bump - will swap for another 4 string bass with cash adjustment either way...
Smash Posted August 31, 2008 Author Posted August 31, 2008 Another bump also does anybody have any interesting trades i.e. 4 string basses
Smash Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 [quote name='flychris' post='274223' date='Sep 1 2008, 08:23 AM']Are you looking only to 4 strings bass ? [/quote] Afraid so, I don't get on with 5 strings.
fullrangebass Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Will you re-consider any of my 4str offers ?
