Godin is proud to present the redesigned 050796 A4 Ultra Natural Fretless Semi-Acoustic Bass!

An instrument that remains true to Godin's high-quality build and design innovation standards.

Smooth jazz, driving rock rhythms, experimental bass lines - if you can dream it, the A4 Ultra can achieve it with exceptional results. Godin outfitted this fretless bass with a spruce-topped chambered basswood to give it its warm, booming tone while resisting the unwanted feedback that can occur on stage. The A4 Ultra packs both a Lace Sensor electric pickup for traditional electric bass sounds and an LR Baggs Acoustic Saddle pickup/sensor into its jaw-droppingly gorgeous body - there's little this formidable 4-string can't do! And with its trio of output jacks for tapping into either pickup separately or in stereo - as well as a handy "Mix" output for combining both into one - the Godin A4 Ultra Fretless Bass Guitar makes its name as one of the most musical, versatile, and inspiring instruments of its kind.

Chambered basswood body topped with spruce delivers a wide range of bass tones
Bassists of varying styles and genres can benefit from the A4 Ultra's sophisticated tonewood combination. Its double-chambered basswood body pumps out plenty of thick, rich lows with a welcome midrange push, made even better with a punchy and powerful solid spruce top. This fretless 4-string's exquisite tone is evident even while unplugged, covering an exceptionally wide tonal territory when plugged into your favorite amp. Once you dial everything in, the A4 Ultra's effortlessly playable maple neck welcomes your fretting hand to glide gracefully across the length of the Richlite-capped fingerboard.

Two pickups. Three outputs. Total tonal control.
The A4 Ultra's trio of outputs are designed to deliver whatever sound you crave - something most experimental players pushed to the limit with jazz, metal, and everything in between. Three separate output jacks tap into all of this bass' sonic potential: outputs for the Lace Sensor Magnetic humbucker, the onboard LR Baggs Acoustic Saddle pickup/sensor, and a third "Mix" for blending acoustic and electric bass textures. The Lace Sensor low-profile pickup delivers the full gamut of electric bass tones, with a separate volume and treble/mid/bass tone controls for fine-tuning your sound. Tap into the A4 Ultra's custom LR Baggs transducers, and you'll bask in clear, vibrant acoustic tones for an entirely different timbre. And with the "Mix" output, you'll get everything electric and acoustic in one signal - truly the best of both worlds.
