If G. Gould is a new name to you, Geoff Gould has been shaping the bass world for years. Known as "The Godfather of Graphite," Geoff founded Modulus Graphite and helped bring carbon fiber composite-neck basses into the spotlight. Today, he's continuing that work through his own G.Gould Music brand, building instruments that are every bit as distinctive as the ideas behind them.
This GGi5 makes quite an entrance. The quilted maple top is finished in a stunning high-gloss Red Velvet Quilt, paired with a lightweight alder body. Underneath that beautiful finish is a carbon fiber composite neck with a phenolic fingerboard and 24 frets. The 35" scale is another thoughtful Gould touch, designed to maintain proper tension and response on the low B string.
The electronics are every bit as impressive as the build. EMG X active pickups run through G.Gould's proprietary EQ system, with active Bass and Treble controls for dialing in everything from a tight, punchy low end to a more pronounced, cutting top.
Why We Like G. Gould Basses
Our G. Gould basses have been turning plenty of heads around the shop, and for good reason. The workmanship is first-class, the finishes are exceptional, and the sound absolutely delivers. These are thoughtfully designed custom instruments from someone who has made a real mark on bass design. We're proud to be one of the few dealers carrying the brand.
