Godin have revamped their A-series semi-acoustic basses to include 13-pin capabilities for MIDI connection.
Godin tell us that their A-series is a favorite among players looking for plugged-in acoustic sound with an electric feel and that the new A4 and A5 Synth Access basses add a new dimension to that concept, with Custom Godin electronics and a 13-pin output jack to access a multitude of 13-pin devices and computers via MIDI.
The synth ready feature of these basses is a definite bonus, but Godin are keen to remind players that there are incredible acoustic bass sounds available by simply plugging into the 1/4â€� output jack. They say that ones ranging from jazz, country, rock and stand-up bass inspired sounds are possible. Also, say Godin, controlling your tone is made easy with the Custom Godin pre-amp section voiced specifically for the A4 and A5 SA, with on-board sliders for treble, mid, bass, acoustic and synth volume as well as program up/down buttons to choose between your synth patches.
The A4 and A5 SA are available in either a fretted or fretless model with 4 or 5 strings. Features include a rosewood fingerboard on the fretted model and an ebony fingerboard on the fretless model, both of which rest atop a rock maple neck. Other features are a newly designed angled bridge that house the custom Godin saddle transducers, a solid spruce top and a silver leaf maple body with a two-chambered body design found in all Godin A-series models. Godin say that this chambered design makes the instrument virtually feedback free in live and loud settings.
