Description
Five strings, zero compromise. The American Ultra Jazz Bass V takes the classic J-bass formula and stretches it to cover low B territory, without turning the neck into a plank. The “Modern D” neck profile fills your hand comfortably through long sets, and the tapered heel gets you up into the highest register without a fight against the body joint.
The fingerboard uses a 10″-14″ compound radius across 21 medium-jumbo frets, so open position chords and high-register runs both feel natural under your fingers – the board flattens out as you move up, keeping the action low and consistent.
Tone-wise, this one’s built for players who’ve dealt with hum on stage. The Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups deliver that familiar Jazz Bass growl and snap, paired with a redesigned preamp that opens up a wide range of tonal shaping – all without the 60-cycle buzz that plagues traditional single-coil setups. Whether you’re locking into a pocket or cutting through with a bright, articulate top end, the electronics keep up.
Body contours are carved into the back for hours of comfortable playing, on your shoulder and against your ribs, functional as well as good-looking under stage lights. This is a five-string for bassists who want Ultra-series build quality and refinement without sacrificing the low end.
