Key Features
Product Ref: 116403
Powered by a pair of Godin Passive Pickups, the Shifter Classic 4 offers good versatility, and a classic ceramic bass tone. The pickups include a Passive P at the neck and J at the bridge, and with flexible controls the bass offers deep tonal shaping. The controls include Tone, Volume and a 4-way switch with the first position using the neck pickup for vintage tones and the second position runs the pickups in series for a tone packed with punchy mids. Position 3 runs the two pickups in parallel, delivering a warm and dark sound, and the fourth position uses the bridge pickup for a well-balanced bass tone.
The Shifter Bass Guitar features a Canadian Laurentian basswood body that is tonally versatile, incredibly resonant, and lightweight for a comfortable performance. The basswood body adds softness and flow to the tone, giving it a defined dynamical range with muscular mids. The Godin Shifter's double cutaway provides added comfort, and easier access to higher frets.
Both the neck and fingerboard are made from maple, which provides beautifully bright tones, with searing highs and strong mids for a dynamic performance. The maple provides players with incredibly smooth play that is perfect for rock styles.
