Fender Kingman Acoustic Basses

[mathewsanchez]

Just stumbled across this on the fender site and thought i'd share. May not be to everyones taste but it offers a jazz profile neck on an acoustic bass, similar to the victor bailey acoutic bass but cheaper. Link to fender site [url="http://www.fender.co.uk/products//search.php?partno=0968200021"]here[/url].

And a link to where you can buy them [url="http://www.dv247.com/invt/61781/"]here[/url]. There may be better acoustics on the market for less but i'm no authority to deliver that verdict as i've never owned one.

I first got interested in acoustics about ten years ago, there weren't many around then and I tried as many as I could and found most of them dissapointing. The Fenders were head and shoulders above the rest, I'd certainly concider one if my Ibanez ever needs replacing.

I used to think going back a few years ,that they all looked like that boring Fener (sorry)
I was told by various people'you don't need an acoustic bass' etc.
However,some really nice basses are out there now in terms of eye candy..
..Dean Psycho Cabby, Takamine, Washburn , Charvel Surfcaster etc .

I have a cheapo acoustic,but if I saw one of the above not too pricey I may go for one
to round up yhe collection

Probably just me, but I can't get past the Jazz headstock on an acoustic bass, I think it looks naff.

Glad I'm not the only one - just looks... wrong.
