Description
This is Fender pushing the Jazz Bass platform as far as it’ll go. The American Ultra sits at the top of the lineup, and it’s aimed squarely at bassists who won’t compromise on feel or fidelity. Pick it up and the “Modern D” neck profile is the first thing you’ll notice – it’s shaped for long sets and fast passages alike, filling your hand without wearing you out over a three-hour gig. The neck heel is tapered too, so those upper-register runs stop feeling like a reach.
Underneath your fingers is a 10″-14″ compound-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets. That radius shift means open chords and low action both feel natural on the same neck – no fighting the fretboard as you move around.
Tone-wise, the Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups deliver that classic Jazz Bass growl and snap without the 60-cycle hum that’s plagued single-coil basses forever. Paired with the redesigned onboard preamp, you’ve got a wide tonal palette to shape – from vintage-flavored punch to modern clarity – all while staying dead quiet.
Fender also sculpted the rear body contours, so it sits against you comfortably whether you’re standing for a full show or seated in the studio.
