From No Treble web site: Geoff Gould has been instrumental in the development of the bass guitar. As a co-founder and president of Modulus, he developed graphite necks and pioneered the 35-inch scale length for production basses. Nowadays, he builds basses under the G. Gould brand, where his creative designs know no bounds. This week, we’re checking out the GGi5-Studio^3, a bass that utilizes progressive technology with organic looks. The five-string bass utilizes a graphite composite neck with dot inlays to mark its 24 frets. Another interesting aspect is its pickups. Gould fit the GGi5-Studio^3 with three of EMG’s new E5W pickups as well as an EMG 3-channel mixer. “EMG’s new E-Series Pickups feature the commonly used slim soapbar cap design.
