I replaced mine with 4 inch ones - they stick out almost three inches and they’re jagged, but the pain reminds me not to spend too much time in the upper registers....

Here's mine... I've been so pleased with these... they sound great, the workmanship is fabulous, and they're just beautiful to look at!
If #40 is still available, I'd be grateful for that number, as it has personal significance. Thanks!

I don't have an official number yet, but I am the current owner of bass #1292.
I'm also trying to acquire #1325, but I'm waiting on some funds to free up before that will be possible.
Thank you! Ever since Geoff posted that one up I've been trying to find a way acquire it. We'll see if it happens!
I get it. I’m a big fan of his rainbow trout basses, and there are plenty of other beautiful ones out there. Mine is an excellent yellow/green/blue burst, but that purple is amazing.

If I could only have one bass.....it would be this one.
Just saw this one reverb- seems like a good price. I've always wanted to try a Gould but have yet to have the opportunity.
Just thought I'd share if anyone was looking!

Sorry in my ignorance I was confusing used and new prices, so actually not a good deal!

Nice Chuck!! Glad to see you at a gig!! can't wait to post my 1st real come back gig!!
Question for the club and Geoff.. I pulled my Genesis 4 banger out the other day and I got to wondering how the early G. Gould’s were similar or different than the Genesis models? I realize that the Genesis were after Geoff left, but the wood necks of the earliest G. Gould’s seem to be pretty similar.. Anyone have an idea?

they are very different. There are different ways to reinforce a wooden neck. Some better than others.

Don't worry! It's going to a good home...
...mine!
I've actually sold two Modulus basses this year in order to jump over to Gould. I found once I got my GGi4 (#1292) that I preferred Geoff's neck profile significantly over what was on my 2004 FB4. It was only natural to pick up a GGi5 and make the switch away from my now sold 2003 Q5, which had a thicker neck and wasn't my favorite. The slightly extra width and string spacing I think I will be ok with and might even help me out when I need to slap. I still have one Modulus bass left, my FB5, and that one isn't going anywhere. The 34" scale and thinner neck has always been perfect.
