The results speak for themselves; unparalleled modern comfort thanks to the modern “D” fretboard radius, outfitted with a set of specially designed Haymaker™ bass humbuckers, this bass delivers a massive tonal range with seismic lows, hard-hitting mids and sweet, articulate highs, all without a hint of hum.
For players who demand flawless tone, infinite versatility and limitless performance, American Ultra II delivers stratospheric new levels of signature Fender brilliance.
