Doctor J Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 The Godin Shifter is a fairly tasteful looking instrument, it must be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pow_22 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ive got the all black bison bass. My favourite bass ive ever had. Absolutely love it. I have the seetings on 'Bass' selector on 'B' and the tone pretty much all bass. Sounds amazing [quote name='12stringbassist' post='1182826' date='Mar 30 2011, 10:42 PM']Hands over the three pickups... typical - great bass.

Prime_BASS Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Big Al bass SSS It's pretty great, very modern sounding though. My favourite setting is all three on in active, low and high mid along with treble boost and bass flat. It's kind of like a mix between a J and a Stingray with added bass and clarity.

Have a Big Al 4SSS and a EBMM 25th Anni 5HSS, both wicked sounding 3-PU basses. Love running all PU's together, gives a very nice complexity and fullness to the sound.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 [quote name='Highfox' post='1185965' date='Apr 2 2011, 05:12 PM']Interesting thread My old Warwick Streamer had 3.[/quote] Much more interesting than I expected! What happened to the Streamer? Looks like someone took out the bridge "J", invented a new position for it further up than the original neck pick-up. I think the Bridge rout has been extended, such that the front coil of the MMHB sits where the old single-coil was. If the HHHB had a tap, that could give a lot of differing tones. If done as explained above, the cost isn't even that great (assuming it had J/J Barts in the first place) I like it. Very clever. Ticks a lot of boxes without too much messing about.

I think it was some kind of custom model, and may of been just a one-off. Even the Guys at Warwick couldn't find out a lot of info about it. I liked it a lot and it was the only bass I used for 20 odd years. Great sound with a lot of punch. Weighed a ton tho. It went off to a guy in Norway in the end.
