Description

Delve into the distinctive fusion of iconic Fender electric charm with acoustic prowess in the Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass guitar. Born from the California Player series, the Kingman Bass is an ode to the free-spirited west coast ambiance, beckoning bassists to push boundaries and redefine conventional tonality.

A masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, its body is meticulously sculpted from solid Sitka spruce for the top, paired with sapele for the back and sides. This assembly, accentuated by aged white binding, not only radiates a vintage appeal but also generates a resonant, deep, and articulate bass tone. Its auditorium body shape, known for its versatility, is further enhanced with a cutaway, offering effortless reach to the higher notes.

The Kingman’s neck, carved from robust nato, marries comfort with aesthetics. It boasts a slim “C”-shaped Jazz Bass profile, delivering playability synonymous with the best of Fender's electric lineage. This design, combined with a concise 30" scale length and a comfortable 1.5” nut width, ensures a playing experience like no other. The walnut fingerboard is adorned with white dot inlays, offering both functionality and a touch of elegance.

 Amplifying this bass reveals the prowess of the Fishman Presys preamp system, equipped with a built-in tuner. It provides a plethora of control options - from volume, bass, mid, to treble, notch, brilliance, and phase - ensuring that the bassist remains in command of every nuance.

With a finish that's reminiscent of sunsets, the Shaded Edgeburst combined with a Poly Gloss provides both visual allure and protection to the wood. Every Kingman Bass is accompanied by a deluxe gig bag, ensuring its safety during travels or storage.
