The Fender California Deluxe Kingman Bass CE Mahogany acoustic-electric bass guitar is part of the California Deluxe Series, which is rooted in over a decade of thoughtful design and built to go wherever the music leads you. The Kingman Bass CE raises the standard with refined construction and sound that rises to any occasion.

Whether you're writing at home or performing on stage, the California Deluxe Kingman Bass CE is built to keep up.

Additional features include: open-gear tuning keys hold your tuning through the longest sets, a Micarta nut and saddle maximize tonal transfer string to string, and phosphor bronze strings offer rich, full-bodied tone from the first note. Plug in with confidence with the onboard Fishman CD-1 preamp system with onboard tuner for stage-ready amplification.
