Fitted for innovating at the absolute cutting edge of musicality, the Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass is part of Fender's most elite series of instruments yet. Strap in for an exciting trip to the future with Fender guitars and their most boundary-pushing ideas.

The Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass starts with a Jazz Bass body in a double-cutaway form made from select alder. Selected specially to make up this model's body, this pick of alder comes designed with the American Ultra II series' Ultra body contours to enhance this guitar's feeling in hand and in the arms. This model's sculpted neck heel goes even further in this department of comfort to allow for easier access to the highest registers possible.

Traveling on, this American Ultra II brings in a quartersawn maple neck to the party wrapped in a silky Ultra Satin finish. On the playing hand, this neck is smooth and seamlessly played. This effortless touch is enhanced by a Modern D-shaped profile that conforms to hand positioning quickly to assist in playing across its full scale length. The quartersawn maple, designed with Posiflex support rods and graphite reinforced, is incredibly stable for the most discerning of players.

A compound radius measuring 10"-14" appears across this quartersawn maple's fingerboard. This thrilling addition assures an incredibly modern feel across the fingers as the board starts at a – relatively flatter and already very modern – 10" radius and continues to flatten to a 14" radius as it moves toward the body. The compound measurement of this fingerboard provides a comfortable and responsive feeling across the fingers – a common design feature of more recent, cutting-edge instruments. Ultra Rolled edges smooth out the ends of this Jazz Bass's fingerboard, optimizing comfort to a further degree while Luminlay side dots punctuate the board for a bright set of fret markers.

On this Jazz Bass model, Fender equipped in two Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups. These single-coil pickups deliver on a massive spectrum of sound for Jazz Bass tones both classic and modern – all without hum. A redesigned preamp compounds on this full musical experience to unlock even more sounds. Onboard, this American Ultra II's S-1 switching system dials in to allow for active/passive operation while a passive tone control and three-band active EQ contribute to sculpt the single-coil sounds of this bass even more effectively to get in on new musical avenues.

The hardware appointment setup on this American Ultra II are also worth a shout out. An adjustable HiMass bridge offers up the option to players of top-load or through-body stringing for deeper customization. Fender Light-Weight Vintage-Paddle key tuning machines line the classic Jazz Bass headstock alongside a Graph Tech TUSQ nut for sturdy intonation and stability. Across this instrument, Fender took every opportunity to deliver on an exceptional experience inside and out.

Clocked in for a stellar musical experience, Fender's American Ultra II series guitars are among their most futuristic and high-end instruments yet. Take the dive and hear the next stage of the Fender legacy come to life.
