Tonal Tightness
Wonderous woods. Each wood used in this guitar's construction has been carefully selected so that it always produces a stellar sound. Laminated mahogany back and sides vibrate with warmth to give your tone a well rounded, full bodied feel. The solid sitka spruce top, combined with scalloped 'X' bracing also adds heaps of resonant quality to the overall tone of the Kingman. As such, you'll find that no matter what style you play, you'll always be able to make your music stand out.
Navigating the Neck
Take your playing further. The sleek mahogany construction of the 'C' shaped neck gives it a great level of playability, so you'll be able to access each fret quickly and efficiently. You won’t have any barriers to your playing, and the shorter, 30" scale length gives it a much slinkier feel compared to regular acoustic bass necks. Also boasting a sustain-friendly, smooth walnut fretboard, this bass offers you a world of opportunity in which you can make music the way you want.
You Like Loud?
No problem. There's an industry leading Fishman preamp system installed in this model, which gives it the ability to be plugged in and amplified. Furthermore, the bass, middle, and treble knobs allow you to shape and mould your tone, whilst retaining all of the natural feel and beauty of the bass's unplugged sound. A built-in tuner, along with a sturdy Modern Viking bridge, also means that you won't ever need to go through the pain of being out of tune, and your sound will always be pristine. Notch, brilliance, and phase dials also give you further sonic options to experiment with, so you can be sure that your tone will sound exactly the way you want it. With a stunning, kingly aesthetic and mountains of character, this Fender acoustic bass has everything the modern musician needs to both look and sound incredible.
