| A Canadian FretlessI've always liked the clean look of this hand crafted A4 bass, by Canada's Godin guitars. They come in four or five string versions, and as fretted or fretless. Let's have a look at the four string fretless. From the Godin website: The A4 and A5 basses produce superb acoustic bass sounds from instruments that are only slightly larger than a standard solid body bass and much lighter. Equipped with synth access, these basses feature the endless sonic possibilities brought to you by Custom Godin electronics. They come equipped with individual saddle transducers at the bridge and a 13-pin output jack, allowing the player to connect to a multitude of 13-pin devices and computers via Midi. Incredible acoustic bass sounds are available through the ¼” output jack and controlling your tone is made easy with the Custom Godin Preamp section voiced specifically for the A4 & A5 SA. The two chambered body design found in all of the A-Series instruments is also at work in the A4 and A5. This design resists feedback as well as the negative effects that loud stage levels can have on top vibration. - click on the images for a better view - Specs: Rock Maple neck Rosewood Fingerboard on Fretted Version, Ebony on Fretless version 12" fingerboard radius 34 " Scale 1 13/16" nut width (5-String) 1 1/2" nut width (4-String) Two-Chamber Silver Leaf Maple body Solid Spruce Top Custom Godin Saddle Transducers and custom L.R. Baggs preamp Volume, Mid, Treble and Bass controls Natural Semi-Gloss Also - and this is a very nice touch as far as I'm concerned - you can get it with or without a full-length thumb rest. There's no place along the strings where you won't find a spot for your thumb! The reputation of this bass is that she sounds as close to an upright as you can get. What do you think?
