Yep! That's the one. I just played it at a band practice last night for a fill-in gig I'm doing. Everyone loved both the sound and the looks. And it plays like butter. Someday I'd love to get the exact same bass (specs) in transparent purple.

I had a pair of Modulus Q5 basses (Bartolini electronics) in the late 90's (fretted and fretless) that I thought would be my forever basses. Well, you know how that goes, and I'm very happy with my Roscoe's, but I did love those Modulus basses. They were the first $3K plus basses I bought, probably within a month of each other.

I'm looking to order SST GGi5 Standard Metallic Grey painted. Geoff's necks beat the moduli I've ever played.
Hello!! The Cocobolo GGi5 body now has a lovely gloss finish on it. @GeoffGould should be in the home stretch with this one, so hopefully it arrives here at Rocket within a couple/few weeks.
@JacobMiranda - how did I miss this post? Shame on me, but I'm glad we connected via email!
Feel free to share some photos of your G. Gould basses whenever you have a sec?

Here's the body for another GGi5 I've got in the works. I'll get the complete specs posted sometime this coming week.
Gorgeous!!

Hubba, hubba. This GGi5 is a special order for a customer who found the Ebony top and then approached me and Geoff about turning the top into a bass. This is the body after sanding I believe, no finish on it yet. It'll come with an Ebony fretboard w/ Abalone blocks. Should be pretty amazing when it's all done!
Alright! The Spalted Maple topped GGi5 is finished and heading my way. Should get here towards the end of next week.

Here's a cool new Hybrid GGi5-S that just arrived from @GeoffGould. It's got his new-ish Hybrid neck which is real Maple with a healthy but of graphite built into the neck somehow. It also has his SST (Sweet Spot Turbo) pickup locations. Looks like a traditional neck, sounds like a graphite neck.
It's a super cool bass that was a special order, so it'll be headed to its new home shortly.

It feels like it should dive when I balance it on one hand deep in the neck pocket. But I just put it on the slickest strap I have, and it doesn't dive. If I used a grabbier strap (like the Levy's M4-GF), it definitely wouldn't dive.
