Here is a AMAZING, one-of-a-kind, rare, discontinued, reworked Fender USA Corona, CA made Stu Hamm Urge 2 converted to a five string with a HighC!
There were NO five string Stu Hamm Urge 2 basses EVER made. (Unless maybe Stu got one? Never commercially produced)
String spacing is 15 mm and very comfortable!!
Can also be strung with a low B, or easily converted back to four string.
Hipshot on low E string drops down to low D
It was outfitted with the "Wilkinson 4 to 5 string bass conversion kit" and I had a custom bone nut made. I play six string so this bass isn't getting enough use…
Please like absolute butter. My luthier Rick McKee made a custom Ebony shim under the neck, and when I got it back the action was so incredibly low I had to raise it! It can go as low as you want… it's still really low, just not ridiculously low…
I am including the original four string nut, and string tree. I sold the old bridge but they are pretty easy to find. I believe it's just called a vintage style bridge. I can send you a picture of what that looks like if you like.
You can coax nearly any sound out of this bass, with the three pickups…
I am the only owner of this bass and bought it new in 2004 I believe. Lovingly kept in a smoke free home studio, and used on some gigs in the mid 2000's until about 2010.
There are a couple of very small dings on the instrument, but nothing major at all. Unless you look closely you won't notice them. There is no belt buckle rash. A couple marks on the end of the headstock. See pictures. I took pictures of all the little blemishes.
I will include the strap lock ends and it comes with a deluxe vintage tweed case.
It has an incredible set up and is strung with a brand new set of D'Addario NYXL strings: gauges
