Fender Kingman Acoustic Electric Bass Shaded Edge Burst

Fender Kingman Acoustic Electric Bass Shaded Edge Burst – Inspired by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, California Player acoustics evoke the west coast spirit of adventure and freedom, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo. Crafted with an X-braced solid spruce top and sapele back and sides, the compact mid-sized auditorium body of the Kingman™ Bass produces a deep, punchy, and articulate tone and features a cutaway for convenient access to the upper frets. The bound nato neck is elegantly appointed with block inlays and is designed with a slim “C”-shaped Jazz Bass® profile, an easy-to-play short 30″ scale length, comfortable 1.5″ nut width, and a 4-in-line headstock for a distinctive look born from Fender’s electric bass DNA. Other notable details include open-gear vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech® NuBone® nut and saddle for focused fundamental tone, and a Fishman® Presys preamp system that allows detailed fine-tuning of the bass’s amplified sound when performing or recording. A deluxe gig bag is included. Bold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make no compromises balancing effortless playability, superior sound, and standout style for those who aspire to play something different.

Unleash your creativity with Fender

Want something stylish, sonically superior, and effortlessly playable? Fender’s got your pick. The Kingman Bass will delight you whether played acoustically or electrically. This Fender bass struts its stuff with a Newporter Bass body (a mid-sized auditorium shape) bolstered by its X-bracing on the solid spruce top. Combined with the sapele, this bass doles out a deep, punchy, and articulate sound. While the body says acoustic, the nato neck and walnut fingerboard say electric. Taking cues from their electric basses, Fender installed a delightfully playable “C”-shaped Jazz Bass neck and kept the 4-in-line headstock. Other aspects like vintage-style open-gear tuning machines and a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle keep intonation rock solid. An eye-catching and one-of-a-kind acoustic-electric bass, the Fender Kingman invites you to a bass experience made to unleash your creativity.

Equipped with Fishman preamp for exceptional electric tone

Fender made it easy to coax crystal clear sound out of the Kingman Bass by equipping it with a Fishman Presys+ Onboard Preamp System. This minuscule gadget stays out of your way while performing and provides you with a bevy of useful sonic sculpting tools. To start, you’ll have the classic 3-band EQ to find your sonic sweet spot. Then, you can further tinker with your sound or attenuate pesky feedback with the notch, brilliance, and phase controls. Lastly, a built-in tuner keeps you on top of your tuning every gig and practice session. Ask anyone here, and they’ll confirm that the Fishman Presys+ is a superb tool for coaxing clear sound out of any acoustic instrument.
