Description
The Fender American Ultra II Meteora Bass is a bold evolution for bass players seeking a cutting-edge instrument that's born to stand out. With its distinct Meteora body shape and powerful pickups, this bass promises an unforgettable playing experience that'll keep you coming back for more.
Crafted from select alder and coated in a radiant Solar Flare finish, the American Ultra II Meteora Bass combines timeless Fender craftsmanship with futuristic aesthetics. The quartersawn maple neck, featuring a Modern "D" shape and an ultra-smooth satin urethane finish, ensures effortless playability across all 21 medium jumbo frets. Additionally, its 10" to 14" compound radius fingerboard allows for fast, fluid playing, while Luminlay side dots guide your way even on the darkest stages.
Under the hood, dual Haymaker humbuckers provide a powerful tonal foundation with plenty of punch and low-end growl, making this bass equally adept at slingin' out thunderous grooves and nuanced, articulate lines. For further sonic versatility, an active/passive switch lets users engage a 3-band EQ, while a 2-way midrange frequency selector allows for precise tone shaping. Whether you're after a tight, modern slap bass tone or a deep, vintage-inspired thump, the Ultra II Meteora Bass is a highly capable axe that's ready to deliver.
Built for sustain and flexibility, the HiMass bridge allows for both string-through-body or top-load setups, while Fender "F" lightweight vintage-paddle tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ® nut guarantee rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation every time you pick it up.
Complete with a Deluxe Molded Case, this bass is designed for serious players who need an instrument that stands out visually and sonically. Take your tone to new heights with the Fender American Ultra II Meteora Bass.
