The A4 Ultra Semi-Acoustic Bass, boasting its striking Trans Red High Gloss finish, was initially crafted as a special model for Robert Trujillo of Metallica. This bass features a two-chambered Canadian Laurentian Basswood body, a flame maple top, Hard Rock Maple neck, and a fretted Rosewood fingerboard.
What sets the A4 apart is its two-voice pickup system and on-board controls. This allows the player to choose between the low-profile Lace Sensor magnetic pickup for a modern and dynamic sound or the individual LR Baggs saddle transducers in the bridge that offer an authentic acoustic double bass sound. The magnetics are controlled by volume and tone knobs mounted on the side of the body, with the LR Baggs saddle transducers being controlled by a custom-designed top-mounted preamp. These ergonomic sliders allow you to adjust volume, treble, mid, and bass EQ, as well as saturation control to give your tone more warmth. Additionally, there is a ‘Fat switch’ selector to provide a mid-low boost, which reinforces the presence.
Moreover, the A4 offers two individual output jacks as well as a combined ‘mix’ output for added versatility.
Thanks to its unique design and innovative electronics, the Godin A4/A5 Ultra Fretted opens up a world of sonic possibilities!
