The Ultra Jazz 5 shares many of the same qualities as the 4-string Ultra Jazz, but it has been specifically designed to meet the demands of 5-string basses. Using a unique application of Virtual Vintage technology, the Ultra Jazz 5 cancels hum and delivers balanced power and frequency response across all five strings. Although designed for passive operation, the Ultra Jazz 5 also works excellently with many active onboard preamps.
