Our take

Who this one is for

The American Ultra II Meteora Bass puts two Haymaker Bass Humbuckers in the offset Meteora body on a 34" scale. They feed the Ultra II active preamp: a pan pot to blend the pickups, stacked treble and bass boost and cut, midrange boost and cut with a mini-toggle for 325 Hz or 750 Hz, and an S-1 switch on the volume that drops it into passive mode with its own tone control.

The quartersawn maple neck is graphite reinforced with Posiflex support rods, in the flatter Modern "D" profile with a 1.5" nut. The 10" to 14" compound radius, rolled edges and Luminlay side dots carry over from the rest of the series, and Ultra contours with a sculpted heel open up the top of the 21 frets. The HiMass bridge strings through the body or loads from the top.

For the same preamp with single-coils in a Jazz Bass body, look at the American Ultra II Jazz Bass. For a split pickup plus a Jazz at the bridge, the American Ultra II Precision Bass.

Texas Tea comes with an ebony board, Solar Flare with quartersawn maple.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. After you order, we check with the supplier and email you an ETA. If it changes, we let you know, and you can cancel.

Want an estimate for this model before you order? Ask us in the chat.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
