Built for players boldly seeking the best, American Ultra II is our most advanced series of instruments. American Ultra II guitars and basses feature premium materials, precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design for instruments that both advance the state-of-the-art and stand the test of time.

The Fender® American Ultra II Meteora® Bass features a select alder body with sculpted body contours. For effortless playability, the quartersawn maple neck features our Modern D profile and smooth Ultra Satin finish. Ebony or quartersawn maple 10”-14” compound radius fingerboards feature Ultra rolled edges, medium-jumbo frets, Luminlay® side dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® nuts. The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours allow unparalleled access to the higher register, while the truss rod access at the headstock provides convenient and easy setup and adjustment.

Outfitted with a set of specially designed Haymaker™ bass humbuckers, this bass delivers a massive tonal range with seismic lows, hard-hitting mids and sweet, articulate highs, all without a hint of hum. The redesigned preamp features unprecedented control to unlock endless tonal possibilities. Key features include S-1™ switching for active/passive operation, passive tone control and 3-band active EQ with switchable midrange frequency. Additional road-ready features including an adjustable HiMass™ top-load or string-through-body bridge, Fender light-weight tuners with tapered shafts, knurled aluminum knobs and 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard.
