B string sounds just fine to me. I don’t know what people on this thread are criticizing, the notes ring loud and clear.

Wow it sounds like a jazz bass! Can’t wait for the Ultra Vintage Modern Future Wound pickups next year! I hope they have some more cool new colors too, maybe something like a Jetwave Green…..it’s green but just a touch more green.

Better construction for sure lol. US factory workers just aren't producing quality guitars anymore. You need to go US Fender custom to get the same quality Japan puts out.

I came to the comments section to say exactly the same. It doesn't make any sense at all to get a fender nowadays, unless you want their brand logo on the headstock.

I own an Elite Fender Jazz V I bought new in 2018. It's a great bass. This Ultra is nice as well. I own an Ultra Fender PJ Percision, the generation prior to this new one. It doesn't have the string through body, but it is still a great sounding and playing bass. I just cannot afford to keep buying new basses every year or two to keep up with their refreshed and revised lines. If you have deep pockets, great.

Seems to be another missed opportunity for Fender, when their competitors (Sire, Sandberg etc) are manufacturing higher quality instruments at much lower prices. Hopefully, Fender has finally resolved the QC issues from their first American Ultra series. I went through 3 different Ultra precision bass guitars and I'm still having issues to this day (3 years later). Such as intermittent buzzing noises from the high output pickups and louder preamp volume levels in active vs passive mode. Also, it is disappointing to see there are no ash bodies or roasted neck options available in the new Ultra 2 series given the price increases.

Rosted is not something everyone likes. Personally, I don't like it. I also believe that it is not a valuable thing, in fact they also mount them on low range instruments

Sorry to hear about your issues. You might like a Sadowsky Metroline. A bit more expensive but the QC and fit & finish is top notch.

Around 20 years ago I had a Fender P Deluxe 5 string and I loved that bass. I unfortunately sold it because I became obsessed with Spector basses , and it bugged me that the P pickup was split in a weird way, one split was B and E, and the other was A, D and G. I think Fender should reissue that bass with the P pickup split the correct way (like their 5 string P’s are now)

It's interesting sound that bass produce in the intro jam on 5th string. Is it just overdrive quack?

Sounds to me like a tenor or bari sax which is mixed too high and clashing with the bass. You can hear the distinction a bit better when he plays the last low C at 0:26.
