      I found the entire Ultra II Bass lineup quite impressive! Thanks for watching - Anthony

    Hi Anthony, thank you for this detailed video. I’m just wondering, are you sure about the fact that the first Ultra series missed the Posiflex rods? I always thought that Posiflex rods were a standard spec for US made Fender basses except Performer and vintage inspired ones

    • @EmpireMusicPgh

      This has been debated recently... and I was always under the assumption that they didn't since Fender NEVER talked about it. If I stand corrected I apologize. Thanks for watching - Anthony

      @@EmpireMusicPgh thank you very much for the answer Anthony. Yes, you’re right. It was not mentioned in the specs for Ultra I. One last question: is it true that the tone control is now working on both active and passive modes?

  • @tzd
    @tzd 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The switch is probably there because the input jack is poking into the space next to the Mid tone knob.

      Again... way above my pay-grade lol. But that makes sense, Thanks - Anthony

    Love it..not for the dude who is going to put is through 35 Preamp pedals..it's just a great standalone bass...Amazing...it's what Sadowsky used to do with the Japan Metros in terms of pricing

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think these basses fit a shockingly wide range of players and uses. sub -$2500 and you get a LOT! Thanks for watching - Anthony

    Is the modern "D" neck slimmer front to back than the modern "C"?

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes..a flatter spine pulls the two sides a bit closer together.. very comfortable for those who like slim/fast profile. Thanks for watching - Anthony

    I really like the changes-quartersawn maple neck is money. Love the luminous side dots. String through body. Not super crazy about the 65948653908650843650438 knobs on it-cause I'm a simp-but the versatility is certainly there.

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's what you get with Active unfortunately... but yeah, I feel you. I like simplicity... I played an entire set of music with the wrong setting on my Elrick last week... too many knobs/switches to notice... lol. Thanks for watching - Anthony

    9.5? I thought the neck was compound radius?

    Poor Anthony having to make at least 3 videos highlighting this new range lol...could been a sub-5 minute single video to encompass everything across the range worth mentioning. Dig the jamming though.

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I WILL NEVER MAKE A SUB 5 MINUTE VIDEO. Unfortunately, I'm long-winded when it comes to this stuff. Apologies in advance - Anthony

    Need a 5 string version of this

    • @EmpireMusicPgh

      Not the first time I've heard that.. Just a Jazz in this series. Thanks for watching - Anthony

    @michaelmacisco2566 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If sounds good ! The knobs would probably drive me nuts but they do make it quite versitile

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I got used to them super fast... nice basses. Mike you have the REAL GOOD STUFF though. lol. Thanks for watching - Anthony

    Why doesn’t Fender make this exact bass with 5 strings?

    • @EmpireMusicPgh
      @EmpireMusicPgh  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They make a 5 Jazz only, but they are still really nice!! We did a video on a Red one, but they do the Avalanche (White) w/maple. Call the shop at 412-343-5299 and we can HOOK YOU UP! Thanks for watching - Anthony

      I agree. Fender needs to get more into 5 string pjs

    If only it was a 5-string.
