Its acoustic bass body delivers deep, naturally resonant low end with clear articulation, while the sculpted cutaway keeps the upper register accessible for melodic runs, expressive fills and more adventurous bass lines.

Scalloped X bracing helps the body resonate freely, giving the instrument a fuller acoustic character with the clarity needed to keep bass notes defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30 inch scale length makes the Kingman Bass CE comfortable and approachable, especially for players who prefer a shorter reach than a full-scale electric bass. A slim “C” mahogany neck, satin urethane neck finish and 9.5 inch radius walnut fretboard create a smooth playing feel, while the cutaway body design provides better access to higher notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe onboard Fishman CD-1 preamp makes this bass practical for the stage. Volume, bass, treble, tuner and phase controls give you useful sound-shaping options without complicating the setup. Open-gear tuning machines, a Micarta nut and saddle, a Modern Viking bridge and phosphor bronze strings complete a refined acoustic electric bass designed to move easily from home writing sessions to amplified performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstrument Type: Acoustic Electric Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries: California\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Kingman Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Style: Orchestra\/Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Top: Solid Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Back: Laminated mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Sides: Laminated mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBody Finish: Gloss poly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBracing: Scalloped X\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCutaway: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoundhole: 100 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin urethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Slim “C”\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard Material: Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius: 9.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale Length: 30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFret Size: 2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePosition Inlays: Dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Dual-action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Nut: 4 mm hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Material: Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBridge: Modern Viking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Standard open-gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware Finish: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings: Phosphor bronze, .045-.100 gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Standard chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectronics: Fishman CD-1 preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls: Volume, bass, treble, tuner and phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessory: 4 mm hex truss rod wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should buy this\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe California Deluxe Kingman Bass CE is a strong choice if you want an acoustic electric bass that feels comfortable, sounds full and plugs in easily for performance.
