The Am Ultra II P Bass EB TXT is a seriously refined instrument. Fender has taken the classic P-Bass formula and injected it with modern tech—the ebony board and compound radius neck are a joy to play, and the noiseless pickups deliver a surprisingly authentic vintage tone. This is a great choice for gigging musicians and players who want a versatile, high-performance P-Bass without the vintage price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The S-1 switch essentially puts the bridge pickup in series with the neck pickup, adding a bit more output and a slightly warmer, fuller tone.
The 'Modern D' profile is designed for comfort; it’s not as thin as some modern necks but offers a more rounded feel than a traditional vintage P-Bass neck, promoting easier access to higher frets.
The HiMass bridge adds considerable sustain and improves note definition; it’s stiffer and transmits vibrations more efficiently, resulting in a more articulate and powerful low end.
