COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY OR QUARTERSAWN MAPLE FINGERBOARD, ULTRA ROLLED EDGES, LUMINLAY SIDE DOTS

Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10-14 compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register.

ULTRA II NOISELESS VINTAGE PRECISION BASS® PICKUPS AND VINTAGE JAZZ BASS® PICKUPS

The Ultra II Noiseless Vintage pickups are responsive and expressive, delivering definitive P Bass® punch and J Bass® growl for exceptional Fender tone without hum. Ultra II Noiseless pickups feature an evolved architecture of specialized stacked coils with the top coil wound around Alnico V rod magnets to produce true single-coil Fender tone, and the isolated bottom coil calibrated to preserve the tone and simply reject hum.
