Unplug and Get Down

Meet the Fender Kingman Bass, an acoustic powerhouse with the soul of an electric. This isn't your typical cumbersome acoustic bass. Fender designed the Kingman with a slick, compact Newporter™ body shape and a short 30.3" scale length, giving it a slinky, easy-playing feel that electric players will instantly connect with. The solid Sitka spruce top is the heart of the tone, delivering a deep, punchy, and articulate voice that's perfect for intimate coffeehouse gigs, living room jams, or laying down foundational tracks in the studio. The Shaded Edge Burst finish and Precision Bass® headstock give it that classic Fender vibe, ensuring it looks as good as it sounds.

Amplify Your Tone

The real magic happens when you plug in. The Kingman comes loaded with a Fishman® Presys Plus preamp system, putting a massive range of tones right at your fingertips. This isn't just a simple volume knob; you get a full suite of controls, including Volume, Bass, Mid, and Treble, plus a Notch filter and Brilliance control to dial in your sound with surgical precision. There's even a built-in tuner and a phase control to eliminate feedback on stage. Whether you need warm, round fundamentals or a brighter, more articulate attack, the Fishman system translates the Kingman's natural acoustic resonance into a powerful, stage-ready sound.

Electric Feel, Acoustic Soul

Let's talk playability. The nato neck features Fender's legendary slim "C" profile borrowed directly from their iconic Jazz Bass®, making it incredibly comfortable and fast. Combined with the shorter scale length and a 12" radius walnut fingerboard, this bass practically plays itself. The cutaway body gives you unhindered access to the upper frets, while the Graph Tech® NuBone™ nut ensures rock-solid tuning stability and focused tone. It's the perfect blend of acoustic character and electric-style comfort, built for players who refuse to compromise.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
