FenderAmerican Ultra II Precision Bass - Aurora
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The American Ultra II Precision Bass combines Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Precision and Jazz Bass pickups with a pan control, so you can blend the two voices from the instrument. Its S-1 switch changes between active and passive operation; stacked controls cover midrange, treble, bass, and passive tone, while a mini-toggle selects 325 Hz or 750 Hz for the midrange. A sculpted alder body and roasted maple Modern D neck bring together the familiar Precision Bass shape with a compound-radius fingerboard, tapered heel, and a HiMass bridge offering two stringing routes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or studio bass parts that need onboard active/passive operation and detailed EQ adjustment.
- Blending the Precision and Jazz Bass pickups with the pan control.
- Players who want either string-through-body or top-load stringing at the HiMass bridge.
