Open Box Fender Kingman V2 Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar - Level 2 Black 197881439668

Born from Fender’s electric bass DNA and built for unplugged freedom, the Fender Kingman V2 acoustic-electric bass brings classic California style to the acoustic stage. Hailing from the California series, this bass' solid spruce top and mahogany body deliver deep, punchy projection with clear note definition, while forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing keeps the response lively and articulate. The short-scale Jazz Bass–inspired mahogany neck feels fast and familiar under the fingers, paired with a smooth walnut fingerboard for balanced response and clean note separation. A Fishman preamp system makes plugging in effortless, translating the Kingman’s focused low end into clear, mix-ready amplified tone. With its cutaway body, 4-in-line headstock and unmistakable Fender attitude, the Kingman V2 is an acoustic bass that refuses to blend into the background.

Solid Spruce Top and Mahogany Body for Punch and Clarity

The solid spruce top provides snap and articulation, while mahogany back and sides add warmth and midrange focus that keep the low end tight rather than boomy. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing reduces excess mass for improved resonance and dynamic response, helping the bass project clearly in acoustic settings. The mid-sized concert body balances comfort with depth, delivering strong fundamental support without feeling oversized. A cutaway ensures access to higher positions, expanding the instrument’s usable range for more expressive playing.

Short-Scale Jazz Bass Neck for Familiar, Fast Playability

Modeled after the iconic Fender Jazz Bass, the slim C-shaped mahogany neck brings electric-style comfort to the acoustic world. The 30.3" scale length offers a slightly looser feel, making technical runs and longer sessions easier on the hands. A 1.5" nut width and smooth walnut fingerboard provide comfortable spacing and confident fretting, while the satin finish enhances speed and control. For electric bassists stepping into an acoustic setting, the transition feels immediate and natural.

Fishman Electronics and Road-Ready Hardware

The onboard Fishman preamp delivers straightforward, dependable amplified tone for rehearsal, recording or live performance. Designed to preserve the bass’s natural character, it provides clear output without unwanted harshness. A Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle support strong sustain and focused fundamental tone, while open-gear vintage-style tuners offer reliable tuning stability. Fender’s Modern Viking bridge and phosphor bronze strings complete a setup built to handle real-world playing.

The Kingman V2: Acoustic Projection With Electric Attitude

Combining deep acoustic response with unmistakable California series styling and short-scale comfort, the Fender Kingman V2 acoustic-electric bass delivers unplugged punch without sacrificing electric familiarity. It’s a bold, stage-ready instrument for bassists who want to stand out—visually and sonically—while keeping their feel intact.
