Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass V - Ultraburst  

For decades, the Jazz Bass has been the heartbeat of modern music, and the American Ultra II Jazz Bass V takes that legendary soul into the future. This isn't just a five-string bass; it’s a high-performance machine built for those who refuse to compromise. Featuring a select alder body with sculpted contours and a tapered neck heel, this bass is designed to feel like an extension of your own body. Whether you’re channeling the fusion mastery of Jaco Pastorius or the rock-solid grooves of Geddy Lee, the Ultra II provides the ergonomic comfort and extended range needed to command any stage.

The heart of this instrument lies in its specially designed Ultra II Noiseless Vintage pickups and a redesigned 18V preamp. You get all the punchy, articulate "growl" that made the Jazz Bass famous, but with the modern benefit of zero hum. The addition of the S-1 switch allows you to jump between active power and classic passive tones at a moment's notice, while the compound-radius ebony fingerboard and "Modern D" quartersawn maple neck ensure that your playing remains fast and fluid across all five strings.

From the studio to the stadium, the American Ultra II Jazz Bass V is the ultimate tool for the professional bassist. It honors the heritage of the giants who came before while providing the cutting-edge features required by today's most demanding players. Experience the pinnacle of Fender engineering and take your low-end to stratospheric new heights.
