FenderAmerican Ultra II Meteora Bass Maple Fingerboard Solar Flare
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Solar Flare distinguishes this American Ultra II Meteora Bass, which combines a select alder body with a quartersawn maple neck and matching maple fingerboard. Its pair of Haymaker bass humbuckers can be split with the S-1 switch, while the control set adds active/passive operation, 3-band EQ, passive tone control, and selectable midrange frequency. The 34-inch-scale, right-handed instrument uses a Modern D neck profile and 10–14-inch compound-radius fingerboard for a defined, modern Meteora configuration.
Strong match

- Players seeking an HH Meteora Bass with S-1 humbucker splitting and a maple fingerboard.
