Key Features

Body & Neck
The lightweight Alder body makes for a more comfortable playing experience, as well as offering an extremely well-balanced tonal palette. Deep lows, throaty midrange and pronounced treble clarity like you wouldn’t believe – the typical Jazz bass flexibility taken to the next level.
A beautiful Ebony fingerboard is then combined with a Maple neck. This adds additional warmth and attack, not to mention smooth playability thanks to the neck’s satin finish and rolled edges. The modern “D” fretboard radius makes the Ultra Jazz Bass neck an absolute breeze to play which is perfect for lengthy sessions and challenging live situations.
Electronics & Hardware
Fender’s Ultra II Noiseless range does exactly what it says on the tin. In this model, you’ll get a pair of Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups. Alnico 5 magnets and vintage-style voicing combine perfectly with the carefully calculated tonewood combination and construction. Add advanced switching to the mix, and you’ve got dynamic, punchy response that can be tweaked to suit any style with absolute precision.
The hardware appointments are the final piece of the puzzle. The combination of tapered-shaft vintage paddle tuners and trustworthy Graph Tech TUSQ nut maximises tuning stability, so you can play with peace of mind. The HiMass bridge drastically improves resonance and sustain, allowing the wood & pickups to truly sing. All in all, the Ultra II Jazz Bass is the ultimate refined take on Fender’s alternative bass guitar and takes the Ultra further than ever before.
Redesigned Preamp
The redesigned preamp features unprecedented control to unlock endless tonal possibilities. Precisely control your tone with the S-1 switching system for active/passive operation, passive tone control and 3-band active EQ with switchable midrange frequency.
