Fender American Ultra II Jazz Bass V, Ebony Fingerboard, Ultraburst

The five-string version of Fender's flagship Jazz Bass brings all the American Ultra II refinements to an extended-range instrument. The low B string extends your tonal palette significantly — you can play bass lines that simply don't exist on a four-string, and the extra range is especially valuable in modern rock, metal, and progressive music contexts. The Ultra Noiseless pickups handle five-string frequency demands without any 60-cycle hum.

The ebony fingerboard is fast and smooth, with a compound radius that starts at 10" near the nut and flattens to 14" in the upper register. The active/passive preamp gives you tone-shaping control or transparent passive response depending on what the song demands. Ultraburst finish on a contoured alder body. The definitive high-end five-string J-Bass from Fender's production line.
