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.
