Ultra clear tone

Embrace the bass. With your fullest, clearest sound yet. The Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass features a pair of Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups. Their perfectly engineered design has taken a pair of powerful single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, but optimised them for maximum clarity. Designed to eliminate the noise interference and hum you might associate with some single coils, these exquisite pickups make sure whatever you play is delivered with expert precision.

 

Ultra versatile sound

Equipped with unique electronics, you’ve got a plethora of ways to change up and modify your sound when armed with the American Ultra Jazz Bass. In particular, the intricate tonal shaping it offers up is second to none. There are individual boost/cut knobs for treble, midrange, and bass tones. So you’ve got unparalleled control over your bass’ overall sound, meaning you can tweak and tinker with your tone until it’s absolutely perfect. There’s also a pan pot pickup selector for switching up your sound between the two Ultra Noiseless single coils, too.

 

Ultra smooth playability

Discover a playing experience that’s a total joy. The Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass has a neck designed to provide comfort and a smooth, luxurious playing action. With a modern “D”-shaped neck, you get a chunky, easy-to-play feel that fits comfortably into the palm of your hand. And a compound radius fretboard that gets wider as you approach the treble notes means it’s much easier to perform searing bass solos up the top of the scale. Add in a satin urethane finish that’s sweat resistant and helps your hand to glide effortlessly and speedily, and you’ve got a bass that provides the ultimate in all-round playability.

 

Ultra precise tuning

Never fear. Everything you play on this sensational bass will be accurate and precise. Featuring vintage paddle key tuning machines with tapered shafts, your strings will be held in tune for longer. So stressful re-tuning mid-song will become a thing of the past. An authentic bone nut also provides pitch perfect intonation and string stability – there’ll be no buzzing or dampening of your tone. Sonic flawlessness.

 

Ultra tough protection

In order to take a bass this good out on the road with you, you need to be sure you’ve got a case that’ll preserve it. Well don’t worry. Because Fender have included a super-durable hardshell molded case at no extra cost. Tough and long-lasting, this case will leave your bass in mint condition, and will protect it from the bumps, knocks, and scrapes it’s likely to encounter during life on the road.
