    The American Ultra Jazz Bass features a unique “Modern D” neck profile for hours of playing comfort, and the tapered neck heel allows easy access to the highest register. A speedy 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets means effortless action, while the Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups and redesigned preamp provide endless tonal possibilities - without hum. The sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional.

    The ultra is the best bass fender have brought out in a long time. I know they bring out different basses every few years but this time they have done something really special

    I see fender have lost the truss-rod wheel adjustment, i think i prefer the older string through bridge to the latest badass style and just to be picky, could be the lights, but look at the colour of the headstock....

    • @geekguitars
      @geekguitars 4 роки тому +1

      The old EBMM truss rod wheel was great but not as good as the EBMM. Having wood on either side made for lesser adjustments. As for the old bridge, the crowd won't notice if it's through body or not. I'd rather have more mass at the bridge and secured saddles as opposed to through the body. I get what your saying dude, but, if you play it and love it, don't let those piddly details be a deal breaker for you.

      It's a very personal preference thing. It doesn't seem like a lack of sustain due to the Hi-Mass bridge. Surely there will be varying opinions on this. We certainly did not a lack of performance. Thanks for watching!

    • @geerhoar
      @geerhoar 4 роки тому

      I am one of those folks who prefers low mass, bent metal, vintage-style bridges. For me, I find that the extra stress on the strings from string through does not yield any tone benefits. I also like that a low mass bridge reduces weight. The types of music I play don’t typically require a lot of sustain, which is the purported benefit of string through, high mass bridges.
