This bass is everything I was looking for in a bass. Originally I was a 4stringer decided to which to 5 strings but didn’t know where to start.. I reached out to Anaconda Bass and asked a few questions instantly I was sold on this bass

Hello I just received my ultra jazz 5 today. I can't get over the quality of how it's made flawless. It was love at first sight the neck is perfect. I tuned it up and that is where i fell in love with this bass it's a monster with the greatest tone. I say a video from the Namm show about these basses that i never herd about and just had to find out more Iam so glad i purchased this bass i love it. Thank You Andrew!

The first time I heard an Anaconda bass was with Dayna Fisher, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve owned several basses, but I’ve never had one as incredible, comfortable, and beautiful as the J5. Its tone and clarity completely won me over. It’s a perfectly balanced bass, both in terms of comfort and preamp electronics, and its versatility is outstanding. This bass will go with me wherever I go. A special thanks to Andrew for all the support throughout the buying process. They say: "Your quest for ultimate tone ends here." I 100% agree.

This bass has the best J tone, out of the box. So well judged. So little can compete with the Ultra J Essence in the realm of tone, it’s almost unfair. The two mid frequencies are perfection: add 260hz for bridge pickup grunt or cut 830hz for R&B scoop.

I’m delighted with my new Ultra J5 Essence! Build quality is superb, and the string spacing across the whole fingerboard makes for terrific playability. No noise from the pickups means a much improved In-Ear Monitor feed than I’ve been used to with single coils. The EQ points are well-selected and responsive with quality pots. Nice balance and weight too. Overall a magnificent bass that does the most important thing – makes you want to practice more 😊 Also helps that it looks fantastic! Big thanks to Andrew for getting it to me in time for my weekend gig, and bonus points for the thermal wrapping on the bass to protect it from heat shock on opening. Cheers! Kevin

I was looking for a modern take on a jazz bass and after hearing positive reviews I bit the bullet and bought one, I certainly wasn’t disappointed. I met with Andrew (an absolute gentleman) when I went to pick up the bass, he talked me through the development of his instruments and gave me detailed instruction on the use of the tone controls. It’s a definite plug in and play guitar and sounds superb, it balances perfectly and has a wide range of classic sounds with a punchy modern twist. The fit and finish is faultless and Andrew fettles each instrument in his workshop prior to sending them out, what more could you want !!! Overall a fantastic instrument for a great price and very highly recommended…go check out Anaconda basses and try one, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again Andrew and hope to see you again,… maybe for one of those sunburst 5 strings lol

Fantastic bass!!! I bought the Ultra J Essence 6, I have owned many basses from low budget to extremely high end, but this bass is by far THE best sounding bass I have ever owned. Its just perfect in every way, fit, finish and most importantly, SOUND! The pickups are extremely clear, fluid and powerful. This bass has been the 6 string sound that I have been searching out for a long time. Now I definitely have to order a 5 string. THANK YOU Andrew for building such a GREAT product, being a true class act and providing great customer service, this is what all instruments manufacturers should be.
