CALIFORNIA SERIES ACOUSTIC KINGMAN BASS

UNIQUE FENDER BODY SHAPE

This bass’ unique cutaway body shape is a Fender exclusive, giving it a vintage-inspired look with a modern twist.

SOLID SPRUCE TOP

Spruce is the standard modern tone wood for fashioning the tops of acoustic guitars and other acoustic instrumentsfew woods can beat its strength, brightness and dynamic range.

FISHMAN PREAMP AND TUNER

Complete with tuner, frequency (bass, middle and treble) and phase controls, this collaboration in preamp design is specially voiced for each California Series body shape.

MATCHING PAINTED 4-IN-LINE HEADSTOCK

The matching painted 4-in-line headstock on this bass is immediately recognizable and exudes classic Fender vibe. It also provides considerable strength and resistance to whiplash that can severely damage most traditional acoustics.

MAHOGANY JAZZ BASS NECK

The supremely comfortable slim-taper “C”-shaped mahogany neck has outstanding fret-hand feel that’s suitable for any playing style and enhances the overall volume and liveliness of the bass.

WALNUT FINGERBOARD AND BRIDGE

With a pleasingly dark look, smooth feel and vibrant tone, walnut is an excellent tone wood for crafting quality acoustic instrument bridges and fingerboards.
