Elite Bass Performance: Roasted Ash Body, Advanced Active Electronics
For the professional bassist who demands absolute tonal precision, flawless reliability, and elite playability, the Fender Limited Edition American Ultra II Jazz Bass is the pinnacle of modern bass design. This limited-run Fender Special Run (FSR) bass is built around a lightweight, select Roasted Ash body. The specialized roasting process removes moisture to increase stability while producing an extraordinarily rich, resonant bass response with punchy mids and tight, focused lows, showcased under a stunning gloss Natural finish.
The neck is engineered for fast, effortless movement and maximum stability, crafted from premium Roasted Quartersawn Maple and reinforced with Posiflex™ Graphite Support Rods. Carved to a fast Modern "D" profile with an Ultra Satin finish, it features a 10"-14" compound radius quartersawn maple fingerboard with ultra-rolled edges, 21 medium-jumbo frets, a Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut, and high-visibility Luminlay® side dots. The sculpted neck heel allows effortless, unhindered access to the highest register.
Outfitted with a calibrated pair of Custom Shop Custom '60s Single-Coil Jazz Bass® pickups, this instrument delivers classic, fat, mid-scooped vintage warmth alongside modern punch and growl. The redesigned 18-volt Ultra II Active Bass Preamp gives you unprecedented control, featuring an S-1™ switch to toggle active/passive modes, a passive tone control, and a highly musical 3-band active EQ with a switchable midrange frequency selector for tailoring your mix on any stage or in any studio session.
The Sanctuary Expert Analysis
"This is a premium gigging bassist's dream instrument. The roasted ash body not only keeps the weight down for long stage sets, but it also tightens up the low-end response, giving your notes exceptional definition. Combining Custom Shop '60s pickups with the active 18V preamp means you can go from deep Motown thump to aggressive, modern slap tone with the turn of a single knob."
