Ultra Noiseless Pickups Provide Pristine Tone

The American Ultra Jazz Bass V is equipped with two Ultra Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups that provide a clear, full tone without unwanted hum or buzz. These pickups capture the essential qualities of a vintage Jazz Bass but with none of the noise, letting your musicality shine through. The bridge pickup offers tight lows and crisp highs while the neck pickup produces warm lows and mellow highs. With an expansive tonal palette at your fingertips, the American Ultra Jazz Bass V inspires creativity.

Modern D Neck Profile Offers Hours of Comfort

The American Ultra Jazz Bass V features a Modern D-shaped neck profile with rolled fingerboard edges for a playing feel that fits like a glove. The shape and taper of the neck provide hours of comfort for any playing style. A compound radius fingerboard gradually flattens out as it approaches the body of the bass, allowing effortless chording and single note playing anywhere on the neck. 21 medium jumbo frets make it easy to execute any musical passage with precision. The tapered heel also provides unimpeded access to the highest frets.

Active/Passive Electronics Shape Your Signature Sound

The American Ultra Jazz Bass V offers an active/passive toggle switch, allowing you to choose between active and passive electronics. When active, you can shape your tone using bass, mid, treble and passive tone controls. Boost or cut frequencies to craft your perfect sound with the turn of a knob. Switch to passive mode for an uncolored, vintage style tone. The active/passive option provides tonal versatility to suit any genre or playing style.
