The Meteora Bass is one of Fender's most forward-thinking designs, and in the American Ultra II lineup it gets the full premium treatment. The offset body shape combines visual drama with excellent ergonomics — it balances naturally both sitting and standing, with the upper horn giving you easy access to upper frets. The ebony fingerboard is smooth and fast, with a tighter grain than rosewood that some players find more responsive.

The Ultra Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups eliminate the 60-cycle hum that plagues traditional single-coil J-Bass designs without compromising the tone. The active preamp gives you boost capability on bass and treble frequencies. The Ultraburst finish shows off the contoured alder body beautifully. This is Fender's most refined bass for players who want modern performance in a uniquely shaped instrument.
