DISC Fender American Ultra Precision Bass RW, Aged Natural Overview
Ultra precision. Ultra performance. Ultra... everything. Fender have spared no expense in designing and creating the Fender American Ultra Precision Bass. It's an advanced instrument with gleaming, high-grade components and a supreme sound that will stay in your head forever. The pairing of an Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickup with an Ultra Precision Bass pickup gives it golden voicing. They'll raise your basslines up and give them a bold, powerful, defined tone which glows with warmth and depth.
Then there's the sleek, satin urethane-finished maple neck, which feels like a smooth sheet of silk under your fretting hand. It makes for dreamy playability, and means you'll be able to skim along the frets freely. A range of EQ control knobs put the reins of sonic control firmly in your hands, letting you craft, shape, and enhance your tone in an instant. Built for world tours and professional studio sessions, this is far more than just a bass - it's a lifetime companion.

The American Ultra Series. Blending classic design with supreme, modern features and craftsmanship, Fender's American Ultra Series is here to rule the world of music. Made in the US with superb attention to detail, they are instruments without limits, and will immediately become your favourite to play. Whether you’re taking it out on tour, recording tracks professionally in the studio, or even practising in your bedroom, you can expect the ultimate performance from your American Ultra instrument – no matter what the situation.
Ultra high quality tone
Master your sound. The electrifying sound of the American ultra precision bass comes from the Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass and Ultra Precision Bass pickups. Shooting out fountains of rich, luscious tone, they will inspire you with their incredible detail and definition. Also boasting minimal noise, they'll keep your sound clean, fresh, and clear – ideal for writing groundbreaking basslines.
The Ultra Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass in the bridge is one of a kind. It has a smooth midrange and warm tone, helping to beef up your bass and make it sound huge. With the characteristics of a vintage jazz bass, but without the hum, it will make your music shine. And the Ultra Precision Bass in the neck only builds on this. It has a sweet, clear high end to help crispen your basslines, and gives you a bold, vintage sound. These pickups will help you unlock your creativity like never before.
Take control
Your tone, your way. There's a host of control dials sitting under the bridge which let you change your sound on the fly. A responsive three-band EQ section lets you dial in your frequencies to get the bass voicing you've always dreamed of. Whether you want to boost the midrange for more punch, the low end for more boom, or the high end for crispness – you can do so instantly. And there's an active/passive mini toggle for changing between circuits – you can experiment to your heart's content.
Sublime maple neck
Take your fingers for a ride. Some woods are naturally perfect for bass. Maple is one of them, and it makes up the neck on this powerful specimen. Boasting a sleek satin urethane finish, you'll find that your hand can manoeuvre with superb agility all the way along the fretboard, fully freeing up your playing. The bright, punchy resonance created when the maple vibrates also lends itself to your sound, adding crunch and definition. There's nothing holding you back from playing to perfection.
Bulletproof
Nothing but the best. Fender have really gone to town on the American Ultra Precision Bass's hardware. With Fender 'F' Light-Weight Vintage Paddle tuners adorning the headstock, this instrument not only looks classy, but also holds tuning exceptionally well. And the 4-saddle HiMass bridge keeps your strings anchored down and resonating beautifully for perfect sonic results. The elite moulded case included with this beast is built like a tank, and will keep your beloved bass safe wherever you take it. From its stellar, premium sound to the hardware holding it together, this instrument is a treasure trove of quality.
