This article from Vintage Guitar magazine talks about the making of Ure's Fragile album. It indicates that the "bass parts are mostly samples or synthesizers save for a few played on a Fender Mustang, chosen for its short scale."

I have a fretless Wal bass that was made in 2000 for Midge Ure, a singer, becasue he wanted to get as close to Mick Karn's sound as possible, Midge and Mick had collaborated in the past...turned out Midge wasnt much of a player
it also happened to be one of the very few Wals witha Mrk II body and Mrk III neck joint, probably the best overall design they ever did.
not really vintage but a good story none the less
The bass is also featured in the Wal Database, which lists a serial number of W20700 (dating it July 20, 2000) and offers three pictures.
lined-fretless Ebony (4 strings, 24 frets) Walnut Facings
