The Ultimate P-Bass, Redefined
This isn’t just another bass; it’s Fender’s top-tier vision for the modern player. This American Ultra II Precision Bass, looking absolutely stunning in its Noble Blue finish, is a mint-condition tone machine that blends classic vibe with bleeding-edge features. We’re talking about an instrument that can handle any gig, any session, and any genre you throw at it, all while feeling like an old friend right out of the case. It’s built in the USA for players who demand the best, period.
Unprecedented Tonal Flexibility
The heart of this beast is its insanely versatile electronics package. You get the iconic, punchy growl of an Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage P-Bass pickup in the middle, plus the articulate, snappy bite of a Noiseless™ Vintage Jazz Bass® pickup at the bridge. But Fender didn’t stop there. The redesigned 18-volt preamp gives you a powerful 3-band active EQ to sculpt your sound with surgical precision. A quick tap of the S-1™ switch on the volume knob flips you from a rich, detailed active mode to a classic, warm passive mode in an instant. With a pan pot to blend the pickups and a mini-toggle to select your mid-frequency, your perfect tone is always just a twist away.
Effortless Playability
From the moment you pick it up, the Ultra II feels different. The quartersawn maple neck boasts a modern “D” profile that’s slim, fast, and comfortable for hours of playing. Its buttery Ultra Satin Urethane finish feels broken-in from day one, and the sculpted neck heel allows for incredible access to the upper frets. The real magic is in the 10″-14″ compound-radius ebony fingerboard. It’s rounded down low for comfortable chording and flattens out up high for effortless soloing and string bending. It’s a player-centric design that feels both familiar and futuristic.
Built for the Road
Every detail on this bass is designed for performance. The HiMass™ bridge can be strung through the body for maximum resonance or top-loaded for a slinkier feel, giving you options for your setup. Fender’s lightweight vintage-paddle tuners keep you in tune with rock-solid stability, while the Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut ensures buzz-free performance. And for those dark stages, the Luminlay® side dots are a lifesaver, glowing to guide your way. This bass isn’t just a looker; it’s a road-worthy tool built to perform night after night.
