Absolutely, amazing tone, so clear and articulate, in addition to the player's skills.

Found a similar one (the 1006J, not the JP Signature) in showroom condition in Germany at a very decent price (before the Make Offer option). And Xmas is coming!
Never played a 35" bass nor a 6-string. I have two 5 string basses (G&L L2500 and Sire V7-5 fretless) and rather short fingers, so the neck width may be a concern. But very tempted.

This one is for sale, 20 minutes drive from my place.
Just out from checking by a tech.
PM'd the seller. The ad says it's a TRB 1006, not a 1006-J (what's the difference? and is it with 2 truss rods?)
500 euros = 600 USD (OBO, incl. a nice hard case, that's probably not so easy to find for a 35" scale bass).
Still my short fingers issue. Although I think I will find playing the C-string as convenient as playing the B-string on my fivers (I like playing by the middle of the board, not beyond the 12th fret).

You may have to make occasional adjustments to thumb technique.
I'm usually pretty good about the 'middle of the neck' thing, but when playing on the first few frets of the Low-B on my 35" scale Roscoe 7 I do have to twist a little bit. There's definitely no possibility of wrapping the thumb around the low side guitar-style...
Keep 'middle of the neck' as a guideline and not an absolute, shift when you must, and you'll be OK.
Really well. Moved to NYC 6 minths ago and love it! Please let me know if you ever get out this way!
Hi gebass6 here!
Refering to my post at #916,I have narrowed the list of six string candidates down to TWO basses.
What those are will remain a secret.
To avoid the possibility of someone buying them out from under me.
Now the long wait for tax refund time.

went from 4 string to 5 and played fives for a long time, then had a 7, then a couple 4 and 5 strings. 22 years into playing bass I got my first 6 the Warwick thumb NT6. Gotta say I’m really digging this bass.
The bassist in this video is Jim Kalson who was my teacher. There are many Youtube videos of Jim that will show how great a musician his is. These days he is playing a G.Gould ggi6. I bought one and showed it to Jim who bought one and now he plays it a lot of the time.
Also featured in the video in your post is Brent (Doc) Watkins on Hammond B3, Graeme Francis on drums, Logan Keese on trumpet (now a member of the Air Force's Airmen of Note), Richard Oppenheim on Alto and Rene Saenz on Tenor. Great local San Antonio guys who just happen to be terrific musicians.

G. Gould Music
There is a photo of my with my G. Gould ggi6 on Geoff's Facebook page. It is the most even playing 6 I have ever owned. Every note everywhere on the fingerboard has the same volume and the same tone. It is an amazing bass and I am priviledged to own it.

Yes, Jim Kalson is a bass master, you were lucky to learn with him. I was in San Antonio in April (?) 2008. There was then a band parade on boats down the canal, very colourful and enjoyable. I also had a dinner in a (revolving?) restaurant on top of a tower near the Convention Center, with an excellent country music band entertaining the guests.
Re: the TRB-1006 - someone grabbed it, faster than me.

San Antonio River Parade features music of all kinds on powered barges that go along the river. It is fun to play but a huge pain because of schlepping equipment and parking problems. I have played it several times. The restaurant you mention is in the top of the Tower of the Americas which was built for the 1968 World's Fair. The restaurant does indeed revolve and a great view of the city is the result.
I am not worthy
I own 2001 Zon Sonus Custom 6 lined
Fretless
I don’t do tapping and such I just play bass

I've been wanting to try a Gould bass for a long time! They certainly are beautiful instruments
They are beautiful but the real beauty is the way they play and sound. Geoff is a master at his art. The tone of my Gould basses is what I had in my head for a long time.
