Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass Arctic Pearl RW with Case

General

It's difficult to name a genre that hasn't been graced with the distinctive sound of the iconic Fender Jazz Bass. The American Ultra Series model combines an enhanced vintage Jazz sound with as-fresh-as-they-come upgrades. Although the neck width of a J-bass is already more than satisfying for many bass players, the further improved D-profile neck and 10 to 14-inch compound fretboard radius of this Ultra model heightens speed and playing comfort even further, making your low, growling lines solid and tight while the rounded heel keeps your higher, more agile fills easy-to-reach, smooth and melodically defined.

American Ultra Jazz Bass: An Almost Limitless Sound Palette

As befits a full-blooded, fresh J-bass, this model has been mounted with two Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass single-coils. These pickups are the latest generation and represent the pinnacle of Fender's knowledge to date. As such, you get an authentic Jazz bass foundation sound without any of the buzz and grumble typical of older generation pickups. Couple this with the fitted mini-switch that flips the electronics from classic passive to modern active, complete with 3-band equalizer, and you have a bass endowed with an almost limitless range of tones and unsurpassed playability.

Unknown Pleasures

Just as pleasing as its sound is the overall feel of the Ultra Jazz Bass. The bellycut-back hugs comfortably against your body while the satin-gloss finished neck ensures quick and smooth transitions no matter how sweaty you hand gets. The HiMass, toploader bridge and bone-nut seamlessly transfer tone and, combined with the extra grip provided by the tapered shafts of the F-tuners, you get an unerring bass with impeccable tuning stability that responds smoothly and immediately to any adjustments. This Ultra comfortable, Ultra playable and Ultra dependable Jazz Bass comes complete with its own Elite quality case.
