The hum-cancelling Ultra Jazz takes a traditional Fender® Jazz Bass®
sound and really opens it up. Lows are deeper, highs are more
percussive, and the mid-range is round but not muddy. Harmonic overtones
jump off the strings. Its also quick; with instant response to either
fingers or pick-style playing. Theres only one word for this
combination of qualities: musical. Choose the perfectly matched Ultra
Jazz Pair, or try an Ultra Jazz Bridge pickup with a Split P in the middle position.
The appearance of the Ultra Jazz is traditional, but the wide dynamic range and frequency response of the hybrid magnetic structure allows both vintage and modern sounds. As with the Model J, hum canceling is achieved with each coil sensing a pair of strings, rather than a stacked design; even with a relatively high DC resistance figure, the Ultra Jazz has very strong, percussive highs and clean lows.
- Neck and bridge positions. The Ultra Jazz Pair was designed to fit the neck and bridge position of the original Fender Jazz Bass, which has neck and bridge pickup cavities of two different sizes. Some current basses use the same length pickup in both positions. Please refer to the dimensions link for the correct choice for your bass.
