Fender Meteora American Ultra II Bass Eb Ultraburst

A Modern Offset at the Top of the American Ultra II Range

The Meteora embodies Fender USA's contemporary "offset" vision. In the American Ultra II series, it combines precision craftsmanship, meticulous finishes, and ergonomics designed for demanding stages: "Ultra" bevels, a refined heel, and premium hardware. The Ultraburst finish highlights its sleek lines and decidedly modern identity.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

Designed for intermediate to professional guitarists, the Meteora Ultra II excels in alternative rock, indie, pop, funk, and hard rock. The coil split via the S-1 switch opens up brighter single-coil-like tones perfect for funky or country rhythms, while the full-powered humbuckers deliver dense leads and precise palm mutes.

Sound

Alder provides a natural mid/high balance and a clear attack, while the ebony fingerboard adds definition and speed. The Haymaker humbuckers offer a modern, full, and articulate tone; the S-1 switch splits the coils for brighter textures. The Bass Cut control refines the low end to cut through dense mixes or adapt to lower tunings. The fixed hardtail bridge, stainless steel block saddles, and precise construction promote sustain and tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

9-46 gauge strings (original setup .009-.046) to maintain the intended feel and tension, standard strap for Fender strap buttons, capo for 6-string electric guitar, picks to taste, and a microfiber cloth for urethane finish care.
