[B] Geoff Gould invented the carbon-fiber composite neck*;
[C] his woods/finishes are some of the nicest to come into our store—and this one lives up to the reputation.
This GGi5 features a sweet Shoreline Gold finish on an alder body. The graphite neck has a 24-fret phenolic fingerboard with plastic dots and a comfortable 35” scale. Tuners are Gotoh Res-o-lites.
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 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.
