[@rhoodj]

Is there a real difference between Elite and Ultra?

[@mark-jurado]

Great playing and great video. One thing I really appreciate about Fender is that even their product demo videos are inspiring. There are licks to cop here, tone settings to spy, a cool sounding amp to listen to, and it's a real demo - not just "sounds cool, check it out". Thanks, Edwin and thanks Fender!

[@vinekolladiv4494]

ELITE Series ALL THE WAY 😏

[@johnnyblaze2257]

Kevin Paolo Vallido why?

[@hoompaloompaa]

Facts

[@purplehaze5078]

Johnny Blaze Truss rod adjustment ease.

[@liohrt]

Since I bought my first American fender, I used to own (not all together), a pro, an elite and finally an ultra. And even if, at the beginning, I was convinced the ultra wouldn't be better than the elite, I have to admit that I was wrong. They really did a great job improving the flaws of the elite serie. I see a lot of people complaining, there is no trussrod wheel anymore, but this is actually a good thing: This wheel was hard as hell to turn (nothing comparable to other wheels on other brands) and in the end, my luthier discovered that the wheel was just some plastic linked to the trussrod with...nothing except some grease, so after a year it could move back and forth like it was broken (and it was not)... In the end, I now only own the Jazz ultra and nothing else

[@amoblahblah]

I could listen to this dude play all day 🙌

[@Ben-dq8cm]

That’s my cousin that’s playing the guitar

[@donmyers3779]

He’s freaking amazing.

[@MateusAsato]

a legend

[@philwithnotes]

I own the Jazz V and the Precision Ultra and they are freakin’ phenomenal. Amazing sound in the studio. This video doesn’t do the tone justice, these basses are really the shit.

[@miguelelvis]

I have this Bass it truly is the best Bass I have ever played, and what is amazing. people always turn and look when I am playing its tone is simply the best I was a P bass man for quite a while, and still am at heart... but the jazz just is the ultimate Bass thank you Fender.

[@purplehaze5078]

I hope next year when they come up with the “Ultra Elite”, they will bring back the adjustment wheel.

[@soundslikeben]

That tone at 6:15 is sick. I can't wait to get one of these to review on my channel.

[@hodaridaniels8786]

I love how these basses sound and looks, they are nice with EQ and pickups yes the bass is comfortable for good playability.

[@addygillespie2334]

i love watching these videos because then i can see how each person plays and it’s awesome how unique each person plays

[@alejandroalcazarflores846]

I dont get this new range, in which way this is better than the elite series? i mean, no rod wheel? no through-body? I dont know, someone tell me please

[@silaswallis-moore9439]

Alejandro Alcázar Flores I’m with you here, altho I liked the modern D neck profile but other than that 🤷‍♀️

[@RJ_HTx]

I was thinking about getting one in cobra blue but no string through-body is such a let down.

Marketing my friend.

[@felixguitar1108]

It’s just marketing

[@diver___]

this new series has a much more pronounced fret buzz out of the box, this video confirmed it.

[@hodaridaniels8786]

I like Fender basses, sometimes I have a pet peeve about the pickups of certain models but this one the American Ultra I let my pet peeve aside and enjoy the sound of the bass itself.

[@KNTH]

Great playing and explanation by Edwin! Nice job Fender

[@tyronejohnson7979]

Where is string thru body?? Why not Neck thru body an graphite necks ??

[@christianneuner2595]

I own one in Texas Tea and I love it, especially the neck. There’s no fretbuzz at all using Rotosound RD66 strings. I just hope I don‘t have to change a pot in the near future. These are soldered directly onto the circuit-board, which has 2 layers.

[@DrKeremKoseoglu]

Where is Mel Brown?

[@adhammp6885]

Liked how this guy played

[@manuelmaldonado3304]

I enjoy watching these talented musicians play just dope to see music in its pure form. Hopefully with enough practice I can sound close to that smooth.

[@33cattt49]

“Dope”🤡

[@andrewljacob]

One of these in cobra blue with a matching American Ultra Jazzmaster--there's my Christmas list.

[@Theguttersayshello]

No truss rod wheel :(

[@situationing]

Sire V7 all the way baby!

[@boriskarloffjr.833]

It's good to see fender making more 22-fret basses, I've always felt that 20 frets limited the playing options a lot. Plus the high-mass bridges will increase the sustain and slightly reduce string buzz.

[@KhalilImani]

It's 21-fret.

[@dbass9767]

Is the midrange control midrange when in active and is that Same knob the tone control in passive??

[@RangaluHsu]

sounds beautiful^^

[@SeverinoSE]

Anyone know the name of the opening track, please?

[@horatiusilasi3796]

I will go with my reisssues :)

[@georocks_]

Elite to Ultra to Mega :)

[@rhoodj]

They are fooling crazy bass players who love good and new basses. Do they really worth the money? $2000 Is there a real difference between Professional vs Elite and Ultra?

[@NoahBassman]

I don't understand why people are ripping on the new series. I think it's sick

[@wilfredovargas2052]

Because they have an Elite and don’t want to invest in an Ultra. That’s all 😂😂

[@bassmode721]

So is this body smaller than a regular jazz bass ?

[@linnspencer9876]

Fabulous Fender Tone! Really nice and fat.

[@adhammp6885]

The wood for the body depends on the color? 🤔

[@alfredorobles6518]

Está chido, regalen uno a ver cómo sale. Gracias Tío Fender. Jajaja.

[@TheBassman0327]

I came here to see a review demo on how diverse this series is compared to the Elite and this video did not show that at all when you introduce a new AXE, demo all styles possible and not just one I have three Elites and there amazing and I've played the Ultra several times and yes they are amazing!! but I just didn't see that here today

[@georocks_]

How about the weight of the 5string? How many lbs?

[@edennard1]

Mine weighed in at 9.5 lbs

[@peterlaurence-couzens8913]

So no poziflex rods in the neck, no truss rod wheel, no through body stringing. Better off getting a MIM deluxe! Aren’t Fender doing a top line bass anymore?

[@Thiago_Torres]

where is slap ??

[@oldschoolebm666]

Nice tone. But I’ll be getting an used Elite. The better bass...

[@Hi-xs7wm]

What about the weight ?

[@juliotorres1143]

Quiero ese bajo pero el de 5 cuerdas

[@lebelouga668]

*B A S S*

[@taokichavez9319]

I'm sure there's at least like 20 better options to demo this great bass, I wanna quit bass and I haven't even started yet just by listening to this guy 😅🙊🥴

[@mionome501]

No graphite inserts in the neck to improve stability and sustain, no truss rod wheel to adjust it, no through body neck..? Except for the modern D neck that get flatter at the at higher registry this is worse than elite series.. And also seems to have more fret buzz!

[@mopdigglyderg4827]

Just not enough cut/boost on Fenders on tone, been like this far too long.

[@elvinpena8788]

Them awful sounding Fender bass amps don't help much either...

[@zoltanmolnar4688]

I was very disappointed in that. The quality of the workmanship is terrible. I already sent the second one back. Impact injury on the same two pieces (Texas Tea, Ultraburst). There is a gap of almost 1 mm at the junction of the body and neck. Strings and pickup poles alignment are terrible too. I always want a Fender jazz, it was my dream, but I have to give it up. I'm very very sad. :(

[@BoogieBMWE34]

horrible bridge, no range of string action regulation. This model is a joke.

[@DaveH8905]

Yeah, if you replace the bridge with a Hipshot like I did, the whole thing gets much much better

[@whykatera81]

Don’t see why I should trade in my fender player series jazz bass I put a high mass bridge vintage pickups in it. I think it sounds comparable to this bass for 1,000s less

[@dedalus6982]

Is this guy wearing pink nail polish?

[@AR-mp8uy]

Send bass

[@JhonataVila]

Sou mais SXJB75 👀

[@thewomble1509]

Come on Fender, how many variations are just TOO many? Oh,your pricing is ridiculous too.

[@ilpatongi]

@@teddylovesit What you actually meant to say was that there's a lot more basses for this price which are much better than this one...

[@cherieltanog8501]

18 volt preamp inspired by Sire probably

[@HR10juicy]

Bassist Receh as well as the rolled edges and satin finish. Lol

[@ilpatongi]

I mean it's nothing special nor exclusive to sire. It's just for redundancy.

[@hernangodoy9564]

Casi no se escucha el bajo, que masl video

[@lartensgrill6106]

Dear Santa...

[@leoc507]

😂

[@MrMaddogg33]

Fender cut corners on this bass they went from ebony to rosewood, the trust rod adjustment is all screwed up and to top it off they kept the price the same as elite which I have the only thing they upgraded was the bridge I hate my bridge on my elite I have to tape pinky finger cause Allen screws stick out of saddles and cut me up so now I have to spend another 200 for a hip shot bridge after I already spent almost 2000 for my bass 🤦‍♂️

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Oh that bridge, I want it for my Jbass

[@disfunctionaldiecast7908]

The new harly benton shits alovee these bass's

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

do not buy black blue or white model, they do not come with rosewood fretboard.

[@josephromero4585]

This bass has no C to D neck profile, truss rod wheel,string through body or striped ebony fretboard like the elite

[@Sonny.O]

next generation have x profile

[@dtales77]

Conrad Romero yup all the good thing for fender neck so dont buy and ultra go buy a original 60’s or be lucky and still have available elite in store

[@greysuit17]

Oh no what will you do?

[@brandondennison4435]

I like the sound of my professional series better. I think this is a big step down when compared to the elite series.

[@johnnyblaze2257]

Brandon Dennison what do you think the difference is between the elite and the ultra?

[@jdubbjazzbass]

I own an American made Fender highway 1 p-bass and j-bass,and they're both passive, this bass dosen't sound or play any better!! it just cost more......

[@FirdausIdros]

1st!

[@mooselips1971]

Lovely fingernails LOL

[@user-fo1nu9zq6j]

Чо у него ногти розовые епта

[@BoogieBMWE34]

I strongly advise against buying this model!! I am writing from my own experience. Although this instrument has everything very well, at a high level, the wood, its treatment, finish, original color of the pickguard, etc., has one terrible problem that completely removes it from any more advanced playing - very high action of the strings. On the HiMass bridge, when the saddles are lowered to the max, we have the distance to the neck from the strings, as in the cheapest instrument from the 80s. It is catastrophically high, disqualifying from any faster technical playing. The only way out is to give a new (!) instrument to a luthier to mill a recess for the bridge, but that's probably not why we buy a new instrument of this class.... I anticipate questions - I have Jazz Bass fretless on a regular Fender bridge, there is no problem in setting the low technical action of the strings. The HiMass just has a terribly thick foot, a base that adds a few millimeters to the level of string suspension. 100% failure.

[@donnix768]

Just give me a passive p or j , don’t care too much about what line of fender either. Tone is in the hands, gear does not make the player.

[@해피해피-k9p]

192등

[@enzo962]

meh

[@Idontlikethisever]

Fender prodution discreminates against Left handed player. Sell medicore stuff for Leftys remember Hendrix people ? Why cant i buy it as a left handed version? Gibson, Epiphone, Sire and other build for Leftys why is Fender discreminating Left handed Player. Left player matter Fender

[@anothermustang]

That buzz is awful

[@IMAGINARY1andonly]

More marketing speak and zero improvements, well worth the price tag. Also, get rid of the damn active circuits and make them an optional extra.

[@asdfdsafdsaasf9639]

this bass sounds fuckin horrible

[@kaya9718]

Just played this $2,000 bass at guitar center and it sounds good... just not $2000 worth. Maybe $300 dollars would be more reasonable for this.

[@rhoodj]

I did try one also and I bought a Sire v7 instead

[@Spartan87667]

Came to hear a high end fender and heard garbage. Not sure if it’s this guy’s playing style or just what this bass sounds like but it doesn’t convince me to shell out $2k for it. I’ve had my eye on a couple Ibanez basses that cost half as much but sound way better. I like the classic look of a fender but the tone just doesn’t do it for me at this price point.

[@33cattt49]

This guy was not a good choice to speak on this product . He isn’t articulate and sounds like he’s painfully reading a script

[@pindang_patin]

i dont see slap, not interesting
