Godin A4 Ultra Fretless Bass, Natural Overview
The Godin A4 Ultra Fretless Bass is a Canadian made piece of beauty. Ultra is an apt name, as there is little this bass can't do. Spice up your jams with snappy, guttural twangs delivered by the magnetic pickup, or shift to the soothing, mellow acoustics of the bridge transducers. All of this is lifted to another level by the in-built EQ. Refine your tone on the fly with these handy controls.
The A4's fretless design and consummate blend of tonewoods forms an instrument that has detail in every pore. A hard rock maple headstock matched with the Canadian laurentian basswood body gleams with the premium quality you would expect from a Godin bass. With so much to offer, the A4 Ultra Fretless will delight you with its flexibility and excite with its distinct voicings.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionSemi-acoustic. Full tone
A two-voice pickup system with on-board controls sets the A4 apart from the crowd. Launch into modern, dynamic riffs and let the low-profile Lace Sensor pickup articulate each note with clarity and sustain. Meanwhile the individual LR Baggs saddle transducers mounted in the bridge will shine through with authentic acoustic double-bass tunes.
The Godin A4 offers further sophistication by letting you modulate your sound with the built-in custom pre-amp controls for the saddle transducers. Add warmth to your tone with the saturation control or flick on the "Fat Switch" to instantly grant you more presence.
If there weren't quite enough options already, don't worry, the A4 has more! You can "Mix" the two output jacks to elevate your sound by combining the sonic power of the pickup and transducers.
Don't fret
Explore the bass soundscape. The A4 Ultra's fretless fingerboard opens new notes that would not otherwise be possible. If you're looking to emit exact notes or just slide into seamless glissandos without frets getting in the way, the A4's fingerboard is for you.
High quality. Low frequencies
On full display is Godin's masterful attention to detail and gorgeous aesthetic touch. A solid hard rock maple neck is married to a Canadian laurentian double chambered body, while the neck is fused with a richlite fingerboard. These beautiful woods and materials provide glorious sustain and a shimmering resonance that you'd expect from a top-class luthier.
Don't let the music stop. A thoughtful thumb rest attached to the low-profile pickup will enable you to keep playing as long you like, and a cut away neck shape enables you to access the high notes with ease. Stay in tune with small fret markers across the neck, another small nuance that Godin gets right. The A4 is your ticket to a quality instrument that amazes with its diverse tonal range, and will captivate your audience.
