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.
