Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The American Ultra II Jazz Bass in Sinister Red is a right-handed, four-string model with two Ultra II Noiseless Vintage Jazz Bass pickups, a pan control, and active/passive switching at the master volume. A 3-band active EQ, passive tone control, and two-position midrange selector place broad tone adjustment on the instrument itself. The sculpted alder body joins a quartersawn maple Modern D neck and 10–14-inch maple fingerboard, while the 4-saddle HiMass bridge supports either listed stringing route.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio or live sessions that call for onboard EQ adjustment and passive operation.
- Players who prefer two Jazz Bass pickups and pan-based pickup blending.
- Bassists who want a 1.5-inch nut width on a 34-inch, four-string Jazz Bass.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a five-string instrument.
- Left-handed players.
