A couple of years ago Fender released the Urge II bass as a replacement for the Urge I and Urge Standard basses. Around 2008 the Urge II received a Hipshot drop D detuner before being discontinued in 2010 when Stuart Hamm left Fender to sign an endorsement deal with Washburn.

The Fender Custom Shop did fretless and 5-string versions of the Urge II nicknamed "Fred" and "Chester" for Stuart himself, with the latter having a Bill Lawrence Jazz Bass humbucker in the middle position in the place of a Precision Bass pickup.

Unfortunately Fender didn't put these Todd Krause Masterbuilt creations into general production.

Thanks, but I'm not interested to purchase it.

Seller claims Chester comes with a letter of authenticity signed by Stuart himself.

Chester is unique as it was the only Custom Artist bass to date to be fitted with a Buzz Feiten system.
