From its Jazz Bass guitar headstock, neck shape, strap button, and machine heads, it feels like home to the electric bassist, but it embodies all the deep and rich tones acoustic players look for.

Discussion: My new Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass exceeded my expectations as far as tone, dynamics and appearance. Even when aplified it still sounds woody and acoustic. It is a beautiful instrument. As with other people's comments, I was able to play it right out of the case witout additional tuning. I believe because of its smaller body size, it does lack a little on the volume without amplification, but that is the only negative thought I have regarding this instrument. I have been playing bass guitars for fifty years.

Features: It looks great, and retails at a reasonable price. Fender should support this product by providing a case, or at least a gig bag! Sound: As with other reviewers, I found that it sounds better under amplification than acoustically. Acoustic sound is a little thin. Playability and Feel: Once the strings were lowered, it was fine. The Fishman electronics are pretty darn good, and the onboard tuner is sweet. I'm used to a P neck, so the J neck on this bass is fun to play. Tone: It's pretty easy to wander into Harsh Treble Land, especially with the bronze strings that it comes with. As a consequence, I'm going to replace them with nickles. Also, I noticed a slight lack of presence on the E string compared to the others, although it's nothing I cant adjust to manually by digging in a little on that string. Finish: It's a stunning-looking bass. The finish was gorgeous. Action: The China factory Fender uses has some quality control issues: the strings were sitting on top of the nut, and I had to get the nut string grooves filed out by a repair guy. Some other owners have noted this same problem, others haven't. Date submitted: 8-30-11 Do you own this product?: Yup Mark from Illinois Overall Ranking: Action: Features: Finish: Playability: Quality: Sound: Tone: Subject: Love It! Quality: I have found no issue with the quality other than having to tighten up the bridge pins a little. With the crazy temperature and humidity changes here the Midwest, a little movement in the wood comes with the territory. Features: For me it's the Jazz neck. To pick up an acoustic that has the feel of an electrics made it easy to play right away. No baseball bat neck like I find on many other acoustics. Only feature I would add is a tortoise shell pickguard instead of the boring gold. Still a beautiful instrument but could be made more striking with a cooler pickguard. Sound: Love the tone! Took it to church to play last week and plugged into my Ampeg BA-115 it made beautiful sounds. Since the guitarist plays acoustic it was a great fit. Playability and Feel: Everything feels great. Most ABG's have such a deep body that you can hardly get your arm around them but the slimmer body on the Kingman sits nicely on your lap and you can actually see the top and fretboard! Still retains good volume even without the body depth of most ABG's. Tone: I didn't get a lot of bright and snappy out of this bass, a good warm acoustic tone when matched with the Fishman electronics sounds phenomenal amplified. I am dumping the bronze strings that come stock on the bass for my preferred half round string which will mellow it even more and get rid of the scratchy sounds from the bronze roundwounds. Finish: The fit and finish is outstanding. The woods look great, binding is perfect. It really it well built. Action: Action was great out of the box - I planned on having to do some adjustments but it was dead on for my preferences Date submitted: February 22, 2011 Do you own this product?: Yes Read all reviews
