Fender Urge Bass
Stu Hamm Urge II Bass
The Fender Urge Bass and Fender Urge II Bass are models of electric bass guitars produced by Fender. The models were designed and are endorsed by bassist Stu Hamm.
Features include a sleekly designed alder body with two Custom Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups, one Custom Precision Bass pickup, 3-band EQ, 18V power supply and panning pickup selector controls, asymmetrical oval neck profile, 6-bolt neck design with a sculpted heel, a full 34"-scale length graphite-reinforced maple neck featuring a 2-octave rosewood fingerboard with 24 medium-jumbo frets. There was also a short-lived Urge Standard which was made in Mexico between 1993 and 1999, featuring a medium 32"-scale length, two standard Jazz Bass pickups and active circuitry with dual concentric volume and tone for each pickup.
As of 2008, the Urge II came with a Hipshot Drop D-tuner and three new finishes: Ocean Turquoise, Red Sparkle and Black with Matching Headstock. As of January 1, 2010, the Urge II bass has been discontinued by Fender after 20 years on the roster of Fender basses. The Stu Hamm Urge Bass was the first signature instrument from Fender.
