The California Deluxe Kingman Bass CE Mahogany is a premium acoustic-electric bass built for versatile performance at home or on stage. Designed with a solid mahogany top and laminated mahogany back and sides, it delivers a deep, warm, and naturally resonant low-end with smooth highs and rich midrange character. Its compact orchestra-style body with a sculpted cutaway ensures comfortable playability and easy access to higher frets, while the Fishman CD-1 preamp system provides reliable, stage-ready amplified tone. Built for musicians who demand refined tone, comfort, and durability, this bass is ready for any musical setting.
Solid Mahogany Top with Laminate Mahogany Back and Sides
Delivers a warm, rich tonal foundation with strong midrange presence from the solid top, while the laminated back and sides enhance resonance, depth, and smooth harmonic balance for a full-bodied acoustic bass sound.
9.5-inch Radius Satin Mahogany C-Shape Neck with Vintage-Style Frets
Offers a comfortable slim C-shaped profile with a satin finish for smooth hand movement, paired with vintage-style frets for easy playability and a balanced feel across chords, riffs, and melodic lines.
Open-Gear Tuning Machines
Provides stable and reliable tuning performance with a vintage-inspired design, ensuring the instrument stays in tune even during long playing sessions or live performances.
Fishman CD-1 Electronics System
Delivers natural, transparent amplified tone with intuitive controls for volume, bass, and treble, plus an onboard tuner and phase control for quick adjustments and stage-ready performance.
Scalloped X-Bracing Construction
Enhances structural stability while improving resonance and tonal projection, allowing the bass to produce clearer lows, balanced mids, and overall improved acoustic response.
Walnut Fingerboard with 30-inch Scale Length
Ensures smooth playability and precise note articulation, while the shorter scale length enhances comfort and makes fretting easier without sacrificing tonal depth.
