The Apex of Modern Performance: Precision Bass Evolution Redefined
The Guitar Sanctuary is exceptionally thrilled to present the brand-new Fender American Ultra II Precision Bass in the breathtaking, premium Noble Blue finish. The American Ultra II series represents Fender’s most advanced, high-performance lineup of electric instruments, engineered specifically for discerning players who demand absolute structural precision, effortless playability, and state-of-the-art tonal flexibility. Merging the timeless, foundational punch of the classic split-coil P-Bass with cutting-edge ergonomic contours and elite active electronics, this bass is built to dominate both the modern studio tracking room and the world's largest stages.
Advanced Ergonomics & High-Performance Neck Architecture
The American Ultra II Precision Bass features a highly resonant, select Alder body outfitted with deeply sculpted rear contours and a tapered neck heel for uninhibited access to the highest frets. The lightning-fast quartersawn maple neck sports a comfortable Modern "D" profile with ultra-smooth, slick satin urethane finish. For the second-generation Ultra II series, Fender has elevated the playing surface with a premium, dark Ebony fingerboard featuring a versatile 10"-14" compound radius, detailed rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, and ultra-high-visibility Luminlay side dots that glow in dark stage environments.
Next-Generation Electronics: Ultra II Noiseless & 18V Preamp Power
Beneath the hood, this bass balances legendary vintage character with modern, whisper-quiet performance:
- Ultra II Noiseless Pickups: Loaded with a powerhouse PJ pickup configuration featuring a newly designed Ultra II Noiseless Precision Bass split-coil in the middle and an Ultra II Noiseless Jazz Bass single-coil at the bridge. This setup serves up definitive vintage thump and bite completely free of single-coil hum or interference.
- Redesigned 18-Volt Active Preamp: Equipped with a powerful, high-headroom active 3-band EQ powered by dual 9V batteries, allowing you to boost or cut Treble, Midrange, and Bass frequencies with extreme precision via premium Stealth Taper pots.
- Active/Passive Mini-Toggle & S-1 Switch: A dedicated mini-toggle switch lets you bypass the preamp instantly for a pure, organic passive P-bass tone. Pressing the master volume's integrated S-1 switch reconfigures the pickup wiring from series to parallel, instantly doubling your available onboard sonic options.

- Sanctuary Expert Note: "Fender knocked it out of the park with the Ultra II series upgrades. The Ebony board combined with the rolled edges makes this neck feel like a broken-in masterbuilt instrument right out of the box. The real magic is in the new 18V active preamp and Ultra II Noiseless pickups—you get that authentic, chest-thumping classic P-bass groove in passive mode, but flipping the active toggle lets you dial in modern, mid-scooped slap tones or laser-focused rock bite completely free of hum. It's a true professional workhorse tool."
