Fender American Ultra Precision Bass Arctic Pearl Maple Fingerboard
Fender American Ultra Precision Bass Arctic Pearl Maple Fingerboard – American Ultra is our most advanced series of guitars and basses for discerning players who demand the ultimate in precision, performance and tone. The American Ultra Precision Bass features a unique “Modern D” neck profile with Ultra rolled fingerboard edges 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 advanced wiring options provide endless tonal possibilities – without hum. The sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional. This versatile, state-of-the-art instrument will inspire you to push your playing to new heights. Other features include “F”-stamped lightweight vintage-paddle tuning machines with tapered shafts, chrome hardware and bone nut. Includes premium molded hardshell case.
State-of-the-art performance, vintage-inspired tone
Plug into your amp or interface and you’ll savor legendary, punchy Precision tone with zero hum, thanks to Ultra Noiseless pickups deployed in the tonally versatile P-J configuration. This arrangement gives you the low-end punch from the split-coil Precision pickup in the middle position, along with the aggressive growl from the Jazz Bass single-coil at the bridge. Mix up your signature blend, and you’re ready to rock.
Fender’s revolutionary Noiseless circuitry eliminates the signal noise and hum that are inherent in vintage single-coil pickup designs. You can plug the American Ultra Precision Bass into anything — from old-school tube combos to digital modeling software — and you’ll experience vintage-inspired tone with the level of performance you expect from cutting-edge modern electronics. The American Ultra Precision is equipped with an 18-volt active preamp for optimized headroom and punch. The control layout includes a pickup pan pot; 3-band EQ that lets you quickly shape your tone for any genre, live gig, or studio session; a passive tone control, and a mini toggle switch to disengage the active electronics.
Classic design with high-performance features
The American Ultra Precision Bass’s performance-driven features extend to the neck in a big way. While its all-maple construction and eye-catching Fender headstock logo look standard enough, run up the fingerboard and you’ll know there’s a lot more going on. This instrument boasts an easy-playing 10″–14″ compound-radius fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets that’s perfect for grooving down low and soloing up high; while rolled fingerboard edges supply endless hours of playing comfort.
The neck on the American Ultra Precision Bass sports Fender’s Modern D profile, which offers satisfying girth to wrap your hand around and, along with its super-slick Ultra Satin finish, enables enhanced maneuverability. One of our favorite elements of the American Ultra Precision Bass here is its tapered neck heel. Play it and you’ll understand — this perfectly sculpted heel gives you effortless access to the entire fingerboard, while the new 5-bolt neck plate provides an advanced neck join for optimized tone with prodigious sustain. The American Ultra Precision Bass is a player’s dream come true.
