Stu's Hammer

Stu Hamm is no longer with Fender, allegedly, the company decided to discontinue his Urge bass, regardless if he's one of the most formidable bass player to tread the ground- it's about the business, yes? So Stu moved on with Washburn which was a natural thing to do since he has a signature acoustic bass with them; it's called The Hammer. The pickup lineup is something close to Billy Sheehan's Yamaha, there's a humbucker unit closer to the neck to really give some beef to slaps. What you don't see is a third pickup embedded in the bridge, a piezo unit to add versatility. Congrats Mr. Hamm on your new signature.
