Description
Fretless players know the game is all about touch and sustain, and the Godin A5 Ultra SA gives you two distinct voices to work with. A Low Profile Lace Sensor magnetic pickup handles the electric side, with volume and tone controls conveniently mounted on the side of the body for quick access mid-set. Meanwhile, individual saddle transducers built into the bridge feed a Custom Godin preamp voiced specifically for this bass, delivering surprisingly authentic acoustic bass tone straight out of the 1/4″ output.
- Fretless fingerboard for smooth, vocal-like glides and that classic upright growl
- Low Profile Lace Sensor magnetic pickup with side-mounted volume/tone controls
- Individual saddle piezo transducers paired with a Custom Godin preamp
- 1/4″ output plus 13-pin capability for direct computer and synth integration
- Two-chambered A-Series body construction
- Natural SG finish
- 5-string configuration for extended low-end range
The chambered body isn’t just for looks or weight relief — it’s engineered to fight feedback and keep the top from over-vibrating at loud stage volumes, something acoustic-electric basses often struggle with. Blend the piezo and magnetic signals to dial in anything from a woody, upright-adjacent thump to a more traditional electric growl, or run the 13-pin out straight into a synth rig for modeling and MIDI work. Whether you’re covering jazz gigs that call for an acoustic vibe or need a fretless voice that still cuts through a full band mix, this A5 Ultra gives you the tonal flexibility to handle it without swapping instruments.
