Fender American Ultra Precision Bass - Ultraburst with Rosewood Fingerboard Review

Pretty Awesome

I have been working to much to spend as much time as I would like with this new toy, but have played it enough to love it already. It is so easy to get the sound I want quickly for each song while playing with the band I am in. No more switching basses needed. I will always love my G&L M-2000 but I can tell back right stage is now going to feature a Fender American Ultra Precision… read more bass for me. It is to much fun to play and has all the options I craved. Passive to active with the flip of a toggle is still mind boggling for me. Thanks to Sweetwater for the amazing service as always, and to Evan who is always there when needed.

Why buy anywhere else.

This is my 6th guitar I have purchased from Sweetwater in the last 2 years. Sweetwater is a one stop shop with knowledgeable sales staff. I deal with Ramses and he goes above and beyond to help me with my order. This won't be my last guitar purchase .. I'll be back

Simply Awesome

I've been playing bass guitar for just over a year now, so I'm a beginner and I bought my Fender a little over 4 months ago, so you know where I'm coming from. I started out with a Vester which I bought it in Korea in 1994, but all I did was carry it around in a case for the majority of my time while I was in the military. So just before my 62nd birthday I decided to take lessons… read more and now here I am (wishing I started sooner). My Vester was a good starter, but there was always something missing so I decided to buy a good Bass and after quite a bit of research and talking to my instructor (Darrell) who is a great teacher and has been playing since he was 7 (he's 65 now), been to school for his trade and is a professional musician; just a cool dude with a wealth of knowledge about the music world that I simply had no idea about. (A plug for Sweetwater: these folks are great to work with, they took all the time "I" needed to talk to me and teach me some things, this is where I do business now) When I bought my Fender it was like a quantum leap in every aspect of what I knew about Bass Guitars. From the tone to the feel, it is just an awesome musical instrument. But since I am a novice I believe the biggest complement I can give this Bass is from Darrell who has said on many occasions that my Fender is just a great quality bass guitar. He mentioned that he did some research on his own on this bass and all he could say is what a good purchase I made. Since we're both seasoned dudes, we take time to talk and fuss around with different things swapping out guitars and such, and I always enjoy watching him play my bass, it's an added inspiration for me to see my bass being played to it's full potential - Simply Awesome!

THE ULTIMATE BASS GUITAR

Fender has achieved the goal of creating the best bass guitar to date. Excellent craftsmanship along with premium quality parts are what make this bass guitar truly the ULTIMATE bass guitar known to man as of the current times. I am truly impressed with the new updated electronics along with the brand new series of noiseless pickups! These pickups are definitely studio quality pickups… read more meant for some serious recording sessions! To finish the product off with the years worth of tears and dedication/ trial and error of what resonates the best tone, is simply phenomenal! To be able to design and manufacture a electronic system that incorporates both passive and active circuitry, along with the ability to give the player a system that blends both systems at any given moment and also to be able to blend it at any level desired is simply genius! Never before has the player had the complete ability to chose between modern and classic rock tones simply by using the knobs/switches on his guitar. Thank you fender!

My Favorite Bass.

I purchased a demo version of this bass elsewhere. The build quality and playability is second to none. Love the sound in passive and active. Highly recommend.
