Description
The Fender American Ultra II range represents the absolute pinnacle of modern Fender craftsmanship. These are instruments for the bold, the brave and anyone who demands the very best from their gear. Premium materials, killer attention to detail and forward-thinking design come together to create guitars and basses that don’t just keep up with the times — they push them forward.
A modern classic that plays like butter
The Fender American Ultra II Precision Bass is an absolute monster, built for players who want classic Fender vibe with every contemporary upgrade under the sun. Its select Alder body is carved with sleek, sculpted contours that feel ridiculously comfortable. And the roasted maple neck? That’s the stuff of dreams. With a Modern “D” profile and silky Ultra Satin finish, it’s fast, smooth and effortlessly playable from the first fret to the last.
Premium playability from top to bottom
Up top, you’ve got a 10”-14” compound radius fingerboard with Ultra rolled edges, medium jumbo frets, Luminlay side dots and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut. So, whether you’re laying down vintage thump or ripping high‑register runs, this thing stays comfy and precise. The tapered neck heel and sculpted cutaways give you obscene upper‑fret access too!
Massive, noiseless tone
Tone-wise, it’s a total powerhouse. Outfitted with Ultra II Noiseless Vintage pickups, you get everything from rich, old‑school Precision warmth to bright, modern snap — all without a hint of hum.
The revamped preamp is a tone tweaker’s paradise. You’ve got S‑1 switching for active/passive flexibility, a passive tone control, plus a 3‑band active EQ with a switchable midrange frequency. Translation: whatever sound you’re chasing, this bass can get you there.
Road-ready hardware
You also get rock-solid hardware like the HiMass bridge (top-load or string-through), lightweight tuners with tapered shafts, classy knurled knobs and an anodized aluminium pickguard.Key Features
