American Ultra? That's like, my favorite Jesse Eisenberg movie ever! You know the one where he's a sleeper agent and he beating everyone up and- oh wait we're talking about a bass...that's equally kick ass!!!!!
When Fender set out to give one of their highest tiers of instrument a fat nitrous shot, they kept no holds barred. Sick electronics, sick specs, sick finishes. We here at EMS are just lucky enough to have a pristine example of their Jazz Bass V. This thing still has the freakin labels on the knobs! Coming hot off the line in 2019 and weighing in at 10.58lbs, this 5-string beast is crafted from a solid alder body and is mated to a maple neck with rosewood fretboard. The neck (.820" 1st - .884" 12th) features a modern D shape profile and has a compound fretboard radius of 10-14". The nut width clocks in at 1.84".
Moving back on down to the body, this guitar is wrapped up in a hard to find and ever so eye catching mocha burst! For hardware and electronics this bass is fully stock, but that's no problem on this bad boy. Afterall, we are talking about an American Ultra! (Cue eagle noises) The electronics package truly makes this bass. Rocking ultra noiseless vintage Jazz Bass pickups controlled by a legendary combo of volume, pickup blend, 3 band EQ, and active/passive switch. Tone? Yes, I'll take all of it please.
Sealing the deal on what could likely be the last bass you ever need is the full EMS Spa day this bass received from our esteemed luthiers! Massaging out every last bit of performance this thing is capable of with a complete setup and fret level to keep it playing perfect for gigs to come!
