Description
Five strings, zero compromise. The American Ultra Jazz Bass V takes the low-end range bassists crave and wraps it in a neck that actually feels good to play for a full set. The “Modern D” neck profile fills your hand without feeling bulky, and the tapered neck heel gets you up into the highest register without any awkward reach – handy when that low B means the rest of the neck runs a little wider than you’re used to.
The 10″-14″ compound-radius maple fingerboard is where this bass really shows its intent: fast and comfortable down low for chording and thumb positions, flatter up top so your high-register bends and licks don’t choke out. 21 medium-jumbo frets give you plenty of real estate to work with across all five strings.
Tone-wise, the Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups deliver that classic Jazz Bass growl and snap without the 60-cycle hum that usually comes with single-coil designs – a real advantage on stages with dodgy power or lighting rigs. Pair that with the redesigned onboard preamp and you’ve got a wide tonal window, from vintage-flavored punch to modern, EQ’d clarity, all shaped right at your fingertips.
Sculpted rear body contours keep this a comfortable bass through long sets, and the Arctic Pearl finish gives it a clean, premium look on any stage. If you need the extra low string but don’t want to sacrifice playability or tone chasing it, this is the five-string built to deliver both.
