Graynote Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Selling my 2021 American Ultra. Bass is in very good condition, has a couple of very small marks. One on headstock, one light scratch where the bass sits on your leg (couldn’t get a photograph of it) couple of marks on the scratch plate from being played. Has a great vintage tone and got that precision thump when panned to the neck pickup. The bridge pickup sounds very vintage jazz bass. Works really well as either a passive or an active bass. In passive mode it has a low pass filter. As an active bass has a 3 band boost/cut eq for tone shaping. Has a light flame in the maple of the neck to give it a bit more class! Includes the case and all the original case candy. Case is immaculate. Lovely bass, only selling as I have a number of basses that do a similar job and want to create a bit more elbow room in my studio!!
