Godin Bass

I never thought of Godin as a bass manufacturer, but man this one looks really nice

I've always hated ABG's, but that bridge has the vibe that could make that very cool for a coffee house acoustic gig

Oh yeah, Godin's been in the bass game for a long time!
John McVie has rocked a recent Godin with Fleetwood Mac in recent years.

I saw Conrad Lozano of Los Lobos with a Godin Fretless Acoustibass in the '90s.
I'm almost certain he used it on this gorgeous song:

I’ve owned several Godin mag/piezo basses. Always well-made and always unique sounds available. This one has a very interesting electronics se-up. Mine were always fretless; I think I see frets on this one.

I’m not crazy about the bridge on the new model.

Interesting how it slips into an almost upright tone at the end.

I own one of the original Godin Acoustibasses with the sympathetic tines under the bridge. I put it in the TB classifieds but alas no one was interested.
Mine is fretted, my guess is that most folks wanted the fretless. I’ve played DB since I was a kid and the original Godin is about as close as you can get to
a double bass.

I always wanted an A4 or A5 fretless.

Almost sounds like an acoustic bass.
A bit on the expensive side, though.

Not compared to actually buying a decent Double Bass though.

I wish they sold them in this blue color. But they aren't...

I tried one yesterday and it looks even more beautiful in real life! Color is white but it is also a bit blueish. That neck is incredible and the bass sounds fantastic! Best sounding and playing bass I've come across.
