Full Description
View Full DescriptionEffortless playability, modern design
The American Ultra II Jazz Bass features a sculpted alder body and tapered neck heel, designed to provide maximum comfort and accessibility. The Modern D-profile neck with Ultra Satin finish allows your hand to move easily along the neck, and the rolled edges on the compound radius fingerboard make complex passages easier to navigate. This thoughtful design ensures that players can perform longer without discomfort.
Ultra II Noiseless pickups for versatile tones
Equipped with Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups, this bass delivers a wide tonal palette that’s perfect for any genre. Whether you're after warm, vintage sounds or sharp, modern tones, these pickups do it all without unwanted hum. The preamp, paired with the S-1 switching system, provides seamless transitions between passive and active modes, giving you even more versatility in your sound.
Compound radius fingerboard for smooth transitions
The maple fingerboard features a 10"-14" compound radius, making it comfortable for both chordal work and soloing. The radius flattens as you move up the neck, making string bending and higher-register playing easier. Combined with medium-jumbo frets and Luminlay side dots, the fingerboard is designed for clarity and precision, even in darker stage environments.
Customisable bridge and tuning stability
The 4-saddle HiMass bridge is designed for both string-through-body and top-load setups, allowing players to choose the configuration that best suits their playing style. Paired with Fender lightweight tuners featuring tapered shafts, you can expect reliable tuning stability even during long gigs and sessions. This attention to detail ensures that your performance is always rock-solid.
