Product information

General

The Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass V: A 5-string bass that combines enhanced vintage sound and as-fresh-as-they-come upgrades. This bass is part of the Ultra Series and is a more than worthy successor to the former Elite and Deluxe models from Fender's California-based factory. While this bass has inherited the comfortable neck-width of a standard Fender 5-string Jazz, the neck of the Ultra has been gifted with a modern D-profile and softly rounded edges to heighten playing comfort even further.

American Ultra Jazz Bass V: Compound radius and Ultra Noiseless Pickups

The fretboard radius of this Fender bass ranges from 10-inches to a slightly flatter 14-inches and maintains tight control over rumbling lines at the lower end, while ensuring a seamless transition to more defined, melodic adventures at the higher half of the neck. This enhanced 5-String Ultra Jazz Bass is then amplified by two specially designed Noiseless pickups that retain that familiar and inspiring core sound of single-coils, without any of the annoying buzz and grumble typical of previous generations.

Double the Sound

While the pair of Noiseless single-coils offer a wide selection of tonal flavour alone, Fender have built in an extra surprise in the form of a mini-switch that flips the electronics of this J-bass from that trusted, passive vintage purr to a contemporary, preamplified growl with 3-band EQ, doubling the range of this bass. Other upgrades include a HiMass, toploader bridge and bone nut for optimum sound transmission and unerring tuning stability. This stability is strengthened by the vintage-looking but tighter-gripping tuners, that have been fitted with improved, tapered shafts for smooth and fast response when making adjustments. This Ultra comfortable, Ultra playable and Ultra dependable Jazz Bass V comes complete with its own Elite quality case.

Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass V Ultra Burst RW with Case

Bonjour,

C'est de la balle pour résumer, un excellent produit dans un bel étui. Du Fender haut de gamme.

Seul hic, les outils fournis ne sont pas les bons, les cordes sont trop hautes et pas de clef pour les régler. Sur une basse à plus de 2000, je pensais soit qu'elles étaient réglées, soit qu'il y avait les outils pour le faire dommage. Maintenant je doit commander des outils et attendre la livraison pour profiter pleinement de mon achat.
