Fender Ultra Jazz 5 Review

I got mine about 4 years ago. Delivers every time. I do believe that Fender did something special with the Ultra Preamp. I use both passive and active mode for my cover band. it growls like the best of them. Neck is spectacular. I liked the series so much that I got the 4 string version, but i could not gel with the neck. so I sold it. but the 5 string Jazz will always be on my side.

That's real pretty!

I have never enjoyed Fender bass preamps. Seem synthetic. Just me maybe?

I haven't either until the new Ultra preamp. IMO it's one of the most useful and usable preamps I've played.

Glad you are enjoying the bass! I loved owning it, but I’m glad it’s in a new home!

That 4003W got played last night at our local blues jam. Compliments galore on it.

Audio sample or it’s a Glarry.

Fragrance sample or it’s a Wishbass!

I noticed that in all Ultra jazz 5 I saw online, and in your photo too, the G and B strings are very near the fretboard edge.
Much near the Edge than in other basses.
Don't you have any problem with them?

my bad, my time is completely off lol, Mine was made in 2022, so two years. I swear i'm losing my mind.
