6-String Bass Guitars
The Ultra J - Essence meets the demands of players who want access to the Award winning tone and playability of our Elite Series, but at an affordable price. We teamed up with a top manufacturer in China to bring you instruments which we designed and are created to our exact specification, with great tone, playability and build quality in mind, at a price that won't break the bank.
The Essence series is designed to provide classic Jazz style tones, but with supreme punch, growl and note definition in the lower register, combined with even note dynamics up and down the neck, extended sustain in a familiar package.
