Electric Bass Guitar · United States · Introduced 2019
The Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass represents the absolute pinnacle of Fender's traditional craftsmanship and modern electronic engineering, designed for elite bassists who demand state-of-the-art playability and expansive tonal flexibility. Built around a meticulously sculpted solid alder or ash body with advanced contoured heel architecture and tapered body cuts, it provides effortless access to the highest registers of the fretboard. The neck features an advanced modern 'D' profile with rolled fingerboard edges and a 10-to-14-inch compound radius fretboard, ensuring lightning-fast runs and maximum comfort for complex thumb and finger techniques. Under the hood, the bass is equipped with Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups paired with a redesigned 18-volt active/passive preamp system, offering an immense palette of pristine lows, punchy midranges, and crisp highs without any hum. The HiMass vintage bridge allows for string-through-body or top-load configurations, maximizing sustain and resonance. It is the ultimate luxury tool for professional studio and touring bassists.
