Description

The Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass V in Gold Dust is a cutting-edge five-string workhorse built for players who demand flawless tone, effortless playability and modern versatility. With its limited-edition finish, roasted AAA flame maple neck and a hugely flexible active/passive Ultra II preamp, this is a premium Jazz Bass that can cover everything from vintage warmth to tight, articulate modern punch without breaking a sweat. Under the stunning Gold Dust gloss finish lies a select alder body with sculpted Ultra contours and a tapered neck heel, giving you classic Fender feel with a far more ergonomic, stage-ready twist. A roasted 3A flame maple neck and compound-radius fingerboard make fast runs, extended-range lines and complex chords feel natural, while Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups and an advanced onboard preamp unlock a massive palette of hum-free tones for studio and live work alike. Ultra-Modern Feel with Classic Jazz Bass DNA The American Ultra II Jazz Bass V keeps the iconic offset body and familiar control layout that players love, but refines every detail for modern performance. The select alder body is carved with Ultra contours and a sculpted neck heel, so the bass sits comfortably against your body and upper-fret access feels completely unhindered. It is a Jazz Bass through and through, just sleeker, more ergonomic and ready for long sets. Roasted AAA Flame Maple Neck Built for Speed Fender have paired this bass with a graphite-reinforced roasted 3A flame maple neck in a Modern D profile, finished in smooth Ultra Satin urethane. The 10 to 14 inch compound-radius roasted maple fingerboard with Ultra rolled edges and medium jumbo frets gives you an ultra-comfortable feel for both low-register groove work and high-register solos. Luminlay side dots keep you locked in on dark stages, while the Bi-Flex truss rod and headstock truss access make precise set-up tweaks quick and easy. Ultra II Noiseless Power with Active/Passive Flexibility A pair of Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups deliver everything from rounded, old-school thump to bright, modern snap without the single-coil hum. The redesigned Ultra II active preamp offers a 3-band EQ with a switchable midrange frequency, plus a passive tone control that still works in passive mode. With S-1 switching on the master volume you can flip between active and passive operation in an instant, making it easy to tailor your sound to any genre or backline. Road-Ready Hardware and Rock-Solid Tuning The 5-saddle adjustable HiMass bridge can be strung through-body or top-load, letting you fine-tune feel and response while maximising sustain and note definition. Fender lightweight tuners with tapered shafts keep the headstock balanced and tuning stable, while heavy knurled flat-top knobs and a 3-ply black pickguard complete the premium, stage-ready aesthetic. Key Features Limited Edition Gold Dust Finish – The striking Gold Dust gloss urethane finish gives this Jazz Bass V a distinctive, high-end look that stands out under stage lights, while still retaining the timeless lines and style of a classic Fender. Roasted 3A Flame Maple Modern D Neck – A graphite-reinforced roasted AAA flame maple neck with a Modern D profile and Ultra Satin finish offers exceptional stability, a fast, comfortable feel and a premium aesthetic that inspires you to play more. Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass Pickups – Specially voiced Ultra II Noiseless pickups provide a wide tonal range from smooth, vintage-inspired warmth to tight, articulate modern tones, all with virtually no hum, making them ideal for studio sessions and high-gain live rigs. Ultra II Active Preamp with S-1 Switching – The powerful onboard preamp with 3-band EQ, switchable mid frequency and S-1 active/passive switching lets you sculpt your sound precisely, from subtle enhancements to bold, mix-cutting voices, all from the bass itself.

Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use.

Bass Guitar

Bass guitars are lower-pitched instruments designed to provide the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of a performance. Scale length, string count, pickup type, active or passive electronics and body construction influence feel, output and tonal range.

Maple Fretboard

A maple fretboard provides the playing surface above the neck and is often finished or sealed as part of the neck construction. Compare radius, fret size, edge treatment, scale length and neck profile as well as the material, because these dimensions have the most direct effect on how the instrument feels.
