AndyTravis Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Setting off shortly to collect @bigmuff69‘s Fender Urge Bass. This fills a few gaps for me, it’s mega lightweight and has 24 frets meaning I can resurrect a few ideas I used to play on my Warwick. It’s also 32” so like the Kingbass I loved to play on but hated playing in other ways...headless basses sit wrong on me. More pics to follow, but here’s the one which swung it for me... Looking forward to this. 6 Quote

Looking forward to this. You sure it was headless basses and not just the Kingbass Andy? I love headless basses but the Kingbass always sat wrong on me. Quote

AndyTravis Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 So...it’s brilliant. @bigmuff69 is a true gent, very chilled and got a lovely house. It’s got some flats on it, which are lovely but not my thing... It’s also got a gold omega bridge on, so the debate is either gold hardware the rest of the bass or revert to original fender jobbie for now. Feels small, but not ridiculously so. Pickguard...black is nice but fancy something else on it. Will have a think on that - maybe even a clear guard. Not sure. 3 Quote

Cato Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Nice looking bass. I've seen the Stu Hamm signature Urge with the P pickup between the two Js before, but I didn't realise there were other versions. Edited May 31, 2019 by Cato Quote

Yeah this is from the first lot, they did this in Mexico and the j/p/j urge in the USA. 2 Quote

casapete Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Nice bass Andy. Saw this advertised and was tempted myself. Just put that original bridge back on and enjoy - plate looks fine to me. 1 Quote
