Description
There’s a reason the P-Bass thump has anchored more recordings than almost any other bass tone on earth, and the American Ultra takes that foundation and makes it disappear into your hands. The “Modern D” neck shape fills your palm without feeling bulky, and the Ultra rolled fingerboard edges mean your thumb glides instead of catching, gig after gig. A tapered neck heel opens up the upper register so those rare P-Bass forays past the 12th fret actually feel intentional.
Under the fingers, the 10″-14″ compound-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets keeps your action low and your fretting hand relaxed whether you’re locked into a slow blues shuffle or covering ground fast. It’s the kind of neck that lets you stop thinking about technique and just lock in with the drummer.
Tone-wise, the Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups deliver that unmistakable P-Bass growl and midrange punch, but strip out the hum that’s always been the tradeoff with single-coil-style bass pickups. Advanced wiring gives you more shaping options than a standard P, so you can dial in everything from vintage-flat warmth to something with a bit more top-end bite for slap or pick work.
The sculpted rear body contours aren’t just cosmetic – they let the bass sit against your body naturally through long sets, which matters more than most spec sheets let on. Finished in Ultraburst over a rosewood board, this is a Precision Bass built for the player who wants the tone they grew up on, minus the compromises.
