Dish out the thunder with the Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass V, the pinnacle of modern bass performance. Designed for serious players, this model boasts cutting-edge features and a sleek design, making it a standout instrument for any musician. From its Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups to its powerful active EQ, this tonal titan promises a one-of-a-kind experience that'll impress even the pickiest performer.
Crafted with a select alder body and finished in an eye-catching Ultraburst, this bass has a rich, punchy sound and a commanding presence. The Ultra satin urethane-finished maple neck, with its Modern "D" shape, is built for comfort, and the compound-radius ebony fingerboard (10"-14") ensures smooth, effortless playability from the first fret to the last. Add in 21 medium-jumbo frets and a tapered neck heel, and you've got an instrument that feels as good as it sounds.

The onboard S-1 switching system and 3-band EQ let you seamlessly toggle between active and passive modes, allowing you to sculpt your tone for any genre. Whether you want fat, booming lows for old-school R&B or something more bright, aggressive, and punchy, the American Ultra II Jazz Bass V delivers with precision and clarity. Plus, the mini-toggle midrange selector (325 Hz or 750 Hz) offers even more tonal control for bassists who demand full control over their sound.
Designed for unrivaled playability, this bass features a HiMass bridge for enhanced sustain and lightweight "F" tuners for superior tuning stability. Luminlay side dots round things out, guaranteeing you never lose your place, even on the darkest stages.
If you're searching for a high-end 5-string bass that merges iconic Fender designs with modern versatility, the American Ultra II Jazz Bass V is the ultimate choice.
