Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass Ebony

Highlights

SELECT ALDER BODY WITH ULTRA CONTOURS AND SCULPTED NECK HEEL
A resonant alder body provides classic Fender tone, while the tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard and “Ultra” sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional.

GRAPHITE REINFORCED QUARTERSAWN MAPLE MODERN “D" PROFILE NECK WITH POSIFLEX™ SUPPORT RODS
Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing, while extra-strong quartersawn maple with graphite reinforcement and Posiflex™ support rods ensure unparalleled stability.

COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY OR QUARTERSAWN MAPLE FINGERBOARD, ULTRA ROLLED EDGES, LUMINLAY SIDE DOTS
Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages while “Ultra” rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth “Ultra” satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

ULTRA II NOISELESS™ VINTAGE JAZZ BASS® PICKUPS
The Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage pickups are responsive and expressive, delivering definitive J Bass® growl for exceptional Fender tone without hum. Ultra II Noiseless™ pickups feature an evolved architecture of specialized stacked coils with the top coil wound around Alnico V rod magnets to produce true single-coil Fender tone, and the isolated bottom coil calibrated to preserve the tone and simply reject hum.

ULTRA II ACTIVE BASS PREAMP WITH S-1™ SWITCHING
Redesigned for unprecedented control, this 18 volt preamp features S-1™ switching for active/passive operation so you can change modes on the fly and a global passive tone control to easily shape your active and passive sounds for authentically deep vintage timbres. The precise and powerful 3-band active EQ offers shimmering musical highs, satisfyingly punchy lows and a switchable midrange frequency to seriously sculpt your sound.

4-SADDLE ADJUSTABLE HIMASS™ BRIDGE (STRING-THROUGH-BODY OR TOP-LOAD)
This precision manufactured HiMass bridge allows string-through or top-load operation for greater versatility with endless sustain, precise attack and rock-solid tuning stability.
