Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass, Ebony Fingerboard, Ultraburst

The American Ultra II Jazz Bass is Fender’s most refined J-Bass, loaded with technology that would have seemed impossible on a production bass just a decade ago. The Ultra Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups capture everything great about traditional single-coil J-Bass tone while eliminating the 60-cycle hum that plagues standard designs. The active/passive switching means you have the option of either mode depending on your needs.

The compound radius ebony fingerboard is exceptional fast, smooth, and beautifully resonant. The Ultraburst finish catches light dramatically and shows off the contoured alder body. The sculpted heel gives you unfettered access to the upper register. If you’ve been playing Jazz Basses your whole career and want one that represents the absolute peak of what Fender makes in production, the American Ultra II is that instrument.
