This bass has a small scuff and some light scratches by the bridge and pickups (see pics). The price has been discounted to reflect this. The scuff/scratches are purely cosmetic and don’t impact the playability or sound of the instrument.
Every bass we get from G. Gould* seems to be a little more spectacular than the last. This GGi5 features a premium cocobolo top over a lightweight roasted pine body. The color and grain are spectacular.
The active electronics package features EMG X pickups through an EMG-BTS EQ system (EMG-CSX humbucker bridge pickup and a proprietary EMG-CSX-GG single-magnet humbucker in the neck, custom designed for G. Gould). Controls are Volume, Blend, and separate active Bass and Treble. The 18V power supply offers more headroom and sonic range.
The full-molded graphite/epoxy neck has a 24-fret phenolic fingerboard with plastic dots and a comfortable 35” scale. Tuners are black Gotoh Res-o-lites. The bass comes with a set of G. Gould Extra Long Scale Taper-Core strings—specifically designed for Gould's 35" 5-string basses. Great tone to match the gorgeous look. A deluxe soft-sided case is included.
*If you’re not familiar with G. Gould, Geoff Gould is known as “the Godfather of Graphite.” As founder and president of Modulus Graphite, Geoff introduced the world to carbon fiber composite-neck basses. Now he’s crafting spectacular instruments with his eponymous G. Gould Music brand.
