    I completely agree. love juice and lots of booty from my jazz bass ... That's why I'm keeping my deluxe 5 hahaha. The ultras look good , but Fender is the master of selling the same stuff every 3 or 4 years . Maybe I'll get those noiseless pickups and call it a day .

      You're right. I'll stick to my Elite 5. I hate they got rid of string through body and trust rod.

    So we got a segment with heavy use of a filter, and a segment that was all slap. That’s all well and good, but what does it sound like when you play it finger style or with a pick?

    I like this phat sound of the noiseless pickups with the American Ultra bass, it is expensive but it's a good bass.

    • @JasonWright-mc6dz
      @JasonWright-mc6dz 6 місяців тому

      It’s funny how things look depending where you sit.. From my perspective this is an instrument for beginners or someone on a budget that has other basses but wants a J-bass. It’s funny I personally avoid stacked/split/inline hum-canceling pickups at all costs especially in J coils. I personably think Fender’s noiseless jbass pickups are sonically the absolute worst design on the market! But, Like I said it’s funny how different things can look…

    Gorgeous bass. I think she's very overrated. Great at marketing herself but really not a special bass player. Seems she gets noticed because she once played with Prince for an afternoon.
