Godin Passion RG-4 Swamp Ash Bass, Godin Core CT, and Summit Classic CT

The newest member of the Godin family is the Godin Passion RG-4 Swamp Ash Bass.

Part of the upscale Passion series, it features 5 tuned, synchronized resonance chambers interconnected inside the body that allow for optimal air transfer, resonance, and a lightweight, vibrant body. The bass also features an ergonomic, rounded contoured body made of Red Cedar with a carved Swamp Ash top and is powered by a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter-Pound PJ™ pickups, 1x volume, 1x tone and a 4-way switch, all housed in a 5-ply tortoise shell pickguard. Rosewood or maple fingerboard options are available on a rock maple neck with large clover style high-ratio tuning machines.

Both models feature a 24 ¾” scale, chambered mahogany bodies and mahogany set necks. The Core CT includes the Graphtech ResoMax wraparound bridge, and available pickups options include 2x Seymour Duncan P90s (neck: Vintage SP90-1 / bridge: Classic SP90-3), or 1x Godin GHN1 (neck) & 1x Seymour Duncan 59’ humbucker (bridge). The Summit Classic CT features a bound Richlite™ fingerboard & headstock, large dot inlays, the Godin High-Definition Revoicer system, and Graphtech ResoMax bridge.
