Reap Expansive Bottom-end Potential
When it comes to making versatile instruments, Godin remains at the forefront of innovation. The creation of the RG-4 4-string bass solidifies this status tenfold. With a chambered body and navigable appointments, this formidable instrument provides a playground of low-end tonal exploration. A smooth-as-silk semi-gloss maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and highly adjustable tone control make maneuverability and ease-of-use incredibly simple for any level player. Additionally, a duo of single-coil pickups and an onboard preamp will ensure you've got access to the entire low-end spectrum for unique tonal versatility. Topped off with sturdy hardware and stunning good looks, the RG-4 4-string bass doubles as both an all-in-one musical tool and impressive visual display. With access to so many possibilities, Sweetwater bassists concur: the RG-4 could be the only bass you'll ever need.
Unmistakable low-end tone
Chambered basswood makes for more than just a lightweight instrument. In the case of the RG-4 Ultra, this silver leaf maple-topped body provides conventional, balanced acoustic tones for enhanced sound shaping potential. With easy access to all 20 frets via the RG-4 Ultra's semi-gloss "C" profile neck, summoning this low-end output is easy. Of course, you'll also benefit from having less weight on your shoulders, making the RG-4 a perfect companion for sit-down practice sessions, impromptu jams, and performance scenarios.
The best of both worlds
With the RG-4 Ultra in tow, you can access an endless palette of electric and acoustic bottom-end tones. Onboard active P Bass and J Bass pickups offer expansive sonic options from pounding low-note licks to high-chime slaps and everywhere in between. Likewise, an onboard custom-voiced LB Baggs preamp and variable output system ensure telltale acoustic projection. Add in additional tone, volume, blend, and mix controls, and the RG-4 provides almost any low-end sound imaginable.
Gorgeous, reliable adornments from head to toe
When it first came through our doors, the RG-4 Ultra immediately had several Sweetwater guitarists enamored by looks alone. Rugged black hardware, including open-gear tuning machines, tone and volume knobs, and pickup covers, match the RG-4 Ultra's contrasting headstock color scheme to provide a stunning visual display. A sturdy Graph Tech nut and ebony bridge combo keep string vibration and resonance as authentic as possible, amounting to faithful acoustic and electric tones with enhanced sonic stability. Simply put: if you're looking for a high-performance bass that looks as beautiful as it sounds, the RG-4 Ultra delivers the goods.
