After many requests for a 5-string version of the Ultra Jazz™, we're proud to offer the Ultra Jazz 5™. It shares many of the tone qualities of the 4-string Ultra Jazz™, plus a unique application of Virtual Vintage technology to enable hum-cancellation as well as balanced power and frequency response across all five strings.
Recommended For:
All positions.
Important Note: The cover dimensions of the Ultra Jazz 5 are not the same as 5-string Fender Jazz BassŪ. The Ultra Jazz 5 can therefore NOT be installed as direct replacements on these basses without modification.
Tech Talk:
The appearance of the Ultra Jazz 5™ is traditional, but the wide dynamic range and frequency response of the hybrid magnetic structure allows both vintage and modern sounds. Hum cancellation is achieved by using Virtual Vintage technology to supress 60-cycle noise, with one coil sensing the B, E and A strings, and the other coil sensing the D and G strings. While the basic sound of the pickup is similar to the 4-string Ultra Jazz™, it's been adjusted to keep the tonality and response as consistent as possible from the B string to the G string. Particular care was taken to keep the low B string big-sounding without becoming muddy.
