The Ultra II Meteora is a seriously impressive bass – the ebony board and Haymaker pickups give it a modern, defined tone with plenty of growl when you need it. It’s built like a tank with that HiMass bridge and the compound radius makes it a joy to play. This is a great choice for players wanting a high-performance instrument with a distinctive look and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Pan Pot allows you to blend the sounds of the pickups, creating unique tonal combinations and widening the stereo image – think of it as a subtle way to dial in different mid-range frequencies.
Absolutely. The transition from the wider 10” radius at the nut to the flatter 14” radius higher up makes it much easier to play fast runs and bends without fret buzz.
The S-1 switch essentially acts as a coil-split, offering a brighter, more single-coil-like tone, while the concentric controls then allow you to sculpt the mids and overall EQ within that split-coil configuration.
