DP549BK

Ultra Jazz 5™ Pair DP549BK.

The Ultra Jazz 5™ has many of the same qualities as the 4-string Ultra Jazz™, but it’s been specifically designed to meet the demands of 5-string basses. By means of a unique application of Virtual VintagexAE technology, the Ultra Jazz 5™ both cancels hum and produces balanced power and frequency response across all five strings. Although designed for passive operation, the Ultra Jazz 5™ also performs excellently with many active onboard preamps.

Recommended For Neck and bridge position.
Important Note:
The cover dimensions of the Ultra Jazz 5™ are not the same as 5-string Fender Jazz BassxAE. The Ultra Jazz 5™ therefore cannot be installed as direct replacements on these basses without modification.

Tech Talk
The appearance of the Ultra Jazz 5™ is traditional, but the wide dynamic range and frequency response of the hybrid magnetic structure allows both vintage and modern sounds. Hum-cancellation is achieved by using Virtual VintagexAE technology to suppress 60-cycle noise, with one coil sensing the x93Bx94, x93Ex94, and x93Ax94 strings, and the other coil sensing the x93Dx94 and x93Gx94 strings. While the basic sound of the pickup is similar to the 4-string Ultra Jazz™, it's been adjusted to keep the tonality and response as consistent as possible from the x93Bx94 string to the x93Gx94 string. Particular care was taken to keep the low x93Bx94 string big-sounding without becoming muddy.
