Fender is the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It is loved by countless top artists, including Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller, and Geddy Lee. (Titles omitted)
The Jazz Bass was released as a higher-end model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp and clear sound is loved by many bassists, and it still has overwhelming support and a shining presence today.
The American Ultra series inherits the American Deluxe series and features a compact body and a noiseless and powerful active circuit.
However, this one has practical passive modifications.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is made of maple, a classic wood composition.
The PU has been replaced with a NORDSTRAND PICKUP NJ5F Set, and the preamp has been removed.
The noiseless PU has been changed to a single coil, giving it a more Jazz Bass-like texture.
The bridge is a HIPSHOT B Style, and I judged the material to be brass based on its weight.
Originally, a heavy bridge like the Badass was used, so it felt more traditional.
The sound is different from the feeling of vintage Fenders, and has a good balance that seems to have been mastered to some extent from the beginning.
I think this guitar will suit those who like American Standard or Professional.
About 70% of the frets remain.
The condition of the truss rod is good.
The condition of the neck is good.
There are dents and cracks on the body and paint surface.
The condition of the electrical system is good.
The circuit has been replaced along with the control plate, and it is now a passive configuration with 2Vol, 1Tone. The pots are CTS250k (A curve), and the capacitors are Orange Drop 0.022uF (400V).
In addition, the PU and bridge parts have been replaced, and the PU is a set of NORDSTRAND PICKUP's NJ5F.
The bridge parts are HIPSHOT's B Style Bass Bridge .708 Brass.
