Fender California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar - Natural Mahogany

Warm, woody and full of character, the Fender California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Bass pairs the rich, organic voice of an all-mahogany acoustic with the familiar feel and unmistakable style of a Fender bass. A solid mahogany top reinforced by scalloped X-bracing delivers warmth, depth and strong fundamental response, while laminated mahogany back and sides further enhance the instrument's natural resonance and tonal complexity. The compact auditorium body shape keeps the instrument comfortable and approachable, while a slim Jazz Bass-inspired neck profile, 30" short scale length and comfortable 1.5" nut width create a playing experience that feels instantly familiar to electric bass players. Outfitted with a Fishman CD-1 preamp system and signature Fender details like its distinctive 4-in-line headstock, the California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Bass offers a warm, expressive acoustic voice without sacrificing the comfort and playability bassists rely on.

All-Mahogany Construction for Warmth, Depth and Organic Character

The California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Bass begins with a solid mahogany top supported by scalloped X-bracing, a combination that emphasizes warmth, richness and strong note fundamentals. Mahogany back and sides further reinforce the instrument’s naturally rounded response, producing a voice that feels full, balanced and inviting across the entire range. The compact auditorium body shape helps maintain focus and clarity while providing enough acoustic output to support practice sessions, songwriting and unplugged performances. Together, these elements create an acoustic bass voice with a mature, organic character that rewards both fingerstyle playing and more aggressive attack.

Jazz Bass-Inspired Neck for Familiar Fender Playability

The California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Bass was designed with electric bass players firmly in mind. Its slim C-shaped mahogany neck takes inspiration from Fender’s popular Jazz Bass profile, creating a comfortable feel that encourages fluid movement across the fingerboard. The 30" short scale length reduces string tension slightly, contributing to an easy-playing feel without sacrificing clarity or definition. A walnut fingerboard provides a smooth, natural playing surface, while the 1.5" nut width keeps the neck feeling fast and approachable. Together, these features create a bass that feels instantly familiar to Fender players transitioning into an acoustic format.

Fishman CD-1 Electronics for Natural Amplified Bass Tone

Whether performing on stage, recording direct or practicing through an acoustic amplifier, the Fishman CD-1 preamp system faithfully captures the Kingman Bass’s natural voice. Dedicated volume, bass and treble controls allow for quick tone adjustments, while an onboard tuner and phase control provide additional performance-friendly functionality. Designed to preserve the instrument’s balance, punch and low-end character, the system delivers a clear, reliable amplified sound that remains true to the acoustic experience.

Distinctive Fender Styling and Dependable Hardware

The California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Bass carries several visual cues that immediately connect it to Fender’s electric bass heritage. Most recognizable is its 4-in-line headstock, a hallmark design that gives the instrument a distinctive Fender identity. Sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts provide smooth, accurate tuning adjustments, while the Micarta nut and saddle and Modern Viking bridge support consistent performance and efficient string transfer. A pearloid rosette, tortoiseshell pickguard and chrome hardware complete a package that feels every bit as distinctive visually as it does sonically.

An All-Mahogany Acoustic Bass Built the Fender Way

The Fender California Deluxe Kingman All-Mahogany Bass combines the familiar comfort of a Fender electric bass with the rich, organic voice of an all-mahogany acoustic design. Its responsive construction, player-friendly neck and stage-ready Fishman electronics create an instrument that feels equally at home in the studio, on stage or during everyday practice. For bassists seeking a warmer, more intimate acoustic voice without giving up the playability and personality that define Fender basses, the Kingman All-Mahogany Bass offers a distinctive and inspiring alternative.
