I've never played an URB, but at the time I bought this I was looking for
an elec. bass that would sound like an URB. This was the closest to what
I imagined, and bought this in California in 1994.
This is in a mint condition --- my band project to use this had failed by the end of 1994, and I've never been able to join a suitable project to play this bass. I've got to play this bass more often...
