Ultra has Modern 'D' NECK it is shallow in sense your thumb is closer to fretboard and allows you to stretch fingers easier on fretboard; it is far from chunky and yes should give it a play. I find it extremely comfortable, fast and easy to play; also neck width is only 1.625 so good for even small hands. I thought 1.5/38mm necks were for Guitar Players who were sentenced to playing bass by bandmates😀 quote from review 'With Fender’s new “Modern D” neck shape, which is a slimmer neck with ultra rolled edges, a 10”-14” compound radius, and a tapered neck heel that allows easy access to the higher frets, the American Ultra Precision Bass is a hell of a lot easier to practice or gig with. It was comfortable to play for hours without getting tired because of the delicately contoured backside—it seemed to hug my body.''

Red Plasma Burst, Neck is best I have played, plays fast and feels great jg8vnvybem2eevt6bzqk.webp

I can attest to the Fender Ultra Precision; Solid build, quality Preamp, Vintage Passive tone and the playability/feel is fantastic. Mine weighted in at 8.5lbs with redesigned body contours very comfortable to wear.

Here in USA the 70's Popular Amps were; Ampeg SVT W/ 810 Acoustic 360/361-370/371 with 18" folded horn reflex There was some Peaveys [tube], Sunn's and Fenders mixed in. I started with Peavey tube head and their 18" folded horn, then moved to SVT/810 Most[ not all] solid state amps back then were weak, a 100 watt tube amp had considerably more dynamics , balls and volume compared to most 350 watt solid state amps.
