lm bass are highly adaptable - they are going to figure out a way to spawn regardless of the terrain. however if we are talking preferences, they prefer to spawn on a relatively flat or gradually sloping (vs steep) terrain in anywhere from 1-4 ft. of water. many times, the clearer the water is, the deeper the beds will tend to be. nearby cover such as stumps, vegetation, or brushpiles can help. but i wouldn't sweat it too much. trust me, if you have bass in a pond, they're gonna find places to spawn.
if you are overpopulated with bass in a pond, then spawning habitat is definitely not a concern.
