Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass® – Ebony Fingerboard

Description

The Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass is built for players who demand modern tone, comfort, and flawless performance without sacrificing Fender’s legendary feel. Featuring an alder or ash body with sleek contours, this bass combines timeless design with cutting-edge upgrades.

The Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage Jazz Bass pickups deliver that iconic Jazz Bass growl with crystal-clear articulation—without the hum. Paired with an active 18-volt preamp, you get massive tonal flexibility: punchy lows, glassy highs, and a dynamic midrange perfect for any stage or studio session.

The “Modern D” neck profile with compound-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard (10–14") ensures effortless playability, while medium-jumbo frets make both intricate runs and deep grooves feel natural. Fender’s HiMass™ bridge adds rock-solid sustain and improved intonation, keeping your sound consistent night after night.

Finished with premium hardware and available in multiple stunning finishes, the American Ultra Jazz Bass is more than an instrument—it’s a professional performance machine.
