Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Texas Tea American Ultra II Precision Bass places an ebony compound-radius fingerboard on a quartersawn maple Modern D neck, joined to a sculpted select-alder body. Its Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Precision Bass middle pickup and Jazz Bass bridge pickup are managed by a pan control. Use the S-1 switch to select active or passive operation, then work with the 3-band active EQ, passive tone control and selectable 325 Hz or 750 Hz midrange frequency. The fixed 4-saddle HiMass bridge allows string-through-body or top-load stringing. A deluxe molded case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio bass setups where active and passive modes are useful from the same instrument.
