Fender American Ultra II Precision Bass Guitar, Ebony Fingerboard, Noble Blue
As an icon of bass guitars, the P Bass is a certified classic – with the Fender American Ultra II Precision Bass, that classic status only grows stronger. Entering the fray as part of Fender’s most elite series of instruments yet, the American Ultra II Precision Bass clocks in overtime for advanced musicality.
For its base, the American Ultra II Precision Bass starts with a double-cutaway body of select alder. This body wood, specially selected for the American Ultra II series, carries comfortably and is easily maneuvered. Fender’s sculpted Ultra body contours appear across the body for a precisely fitted and cut selection of alder. This precision manifests additionally at the body’s sculpted neck heel that allows deeper access to high registers and frets – resulting in a new level of playability.
Blazing ahead, this P Bass introduces a quartersawn maple neck decked in a silky Ultra Satin finish. In the grip of the palm, this neck is seamlessly played and smooth to the touch. The touch this satin finish imparts is compounded by the neck’s Modern “D”-shape profile that fills the playing hand and conforms quickly to different hand angles and positions across its full length. The quartersawn maple is sturdy and reinforced by graphite and Posiflex support rods for rock-solid positioning and playing.
A compound fingerboard radius lands on this model’s ebony fingerboard for an ultra-modern touch. Measuring at – an already modern and speedy – 10″ radius near its headstock and flattening out closer to its body to a 14″ radius. This specification makes for a modern and comfortable feel across the fingers as the board facilitates articulate fretting with twenty-one Medium Jumbo frets. Alongside this compound radius and familiar frets, the American Ultra II Precision Bass introduces Ultra rolled fingerboard edges to make the playing experience truly seamless while Luminlay side dots make for a bright set of fret markers.
This American Ultra II model comes loaded with an advanced setup of electronics. A combo of Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Precision and Jazz Bass pickups appear on this bass to summon an incredibly wide and colorful spectrum of sounds. On top of it, Fender’s patented S-1 switching system appears for active or passive operation to expand that spectrum even further. A passive tone control and three-band EQ with a switchable midrange frequency compound this control scheme to lead into new musical directions.
With all these stellar additions, this American Ultra II’s hardware setup might fall into the background, but rest assured, it makes a name for itself all the same. An adjustable HiMass bridge drops in for the option between top-load or through-body stringing. A Graph Tech TUSQ and a set of Fender lightweight tuning machines line this P Bass headstock for easy stringing and solid intonation. A set of knurled aluminum knobs and a one-ply anodized aluminum pickguard top off this hardware setup for a satisfying sum.
As part of the American Ultra II series, this Precision Bass packs in high-quality electronics and materials for an advanced and forward-thinking musical experience. Take hold of this classic Fender name of hear your imagination come to life.
