a new year's resolution up in smoke...

was supposed to refrain from any bass-buying this year and finish up my current and soon-to-be-current builds.

then, back-to-back, two gould's happened upon the classifieds that i couldn't say 'no' to.

i previously sold the one on the left ('bullseye') to @afellini last year. regretted the sale but funds were bled dry when my car decided it needed attention. as luck would have it, 'bullseye' found his way home.

@Blues Infidel made his gould available recently and i had to pounce. i remember this bass from years ago but couldn't purchase it then. started off in andy west's collection. 'kayleigh' also has a new home.

i think i'm gonna have to start driving for uber or lyft to help pay for geoff's builds!
 
I'm honored, but beginning to worry about you!
your concern is duly noted! i'm done-zo tho from buying anymore. would only break this pledge if one of your older maple-neck builds happens upon the market that has an uniqueness to it.

i remember one particular build of yours years ago that ended up on evilbay from a seller in santa cruz. it had a walnut back with a purpleheart top. must've weighed a ton!

but if something like that pops up, i can't be held responsible for my actions on my piggy bank! :D

Took me a very long time to finally let it go, but very pleased it's gone to someone who appreciates it. It's a very special bass.
 
im looking online at a couple of these Gould 4 strings and I can't seem to find much info on the neck profiles. Anyone know what the nut widths are on the ggi4 basses?
drop @I am Soma a pm. they've got one up for grabs in the classifieds. should be able to shoot you the neck specs.

or give @GeoffGould a pm. if not too busy, he should be able to answer a question or two.
