Up for sale is my Godin A5 SA Fretted 5 string with a Cedar top.
This is an amazing sounding bass in very good condition. A few slight
cosmetic imperfections that are hard to photograph. I am only selling
because I am focusing on going fully acoustic with my Tacoma
Thunderchief five string fretted basses.
I originally purchased one of these as the Ultra model with a spruce top
and a Lace magnetic pickup in the bridge position. The spruce top makes
these basses to bright sounding and the magnetic pickup is located in
the bridge position which is way to treble sounding. Not a great design.
I felt fortunate to find this used model with the Cedar top. Truly with
the RMC piezo pickups, the magnetic pickup is not needed. The MIDI
system works fine also.
Included
will be the truss rod wrench and both a 5 pin and 13 pin cable if you
want to try out MIDI.
This bass will be shipped in a good quality Protec gig bag. The bass will be wearing roundwouds B-G.
1-13/16" at the nut. 34" scale. 8 lbs 11 oz
I have included YouTube clips of the bass. I am using LaBella black nylon flats E-C. This bass also works great with a B string.
