Title: New Fender Ultra series
Post by: Dave W on November 05, 2019, 09:39:42 PM

Announced today, minor "improvements" over the Elite series, with an increase in price. The prices shown are street prices.

Ultra P (https://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-basses/precision-bass/american-ultra-precision-bass/0199012781.html) that's really yet another P/J. IMHO, far from what a Precision Bass ought to be.

Ultra J (https://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-basses/jazz-bass/american-ultra-jazz-bass/0199020712.html) Will this compete in a market with quite a few active Js? I wonder.

IT seems they have become lost.
Trying to "take a little" from the past and then falling in the swamp with the end product.

I think it's quite logical. In the Fender US-series you know got affordable vintage-style basses, modern style basses, expensive vintage style basses and expensive modern ones.
