$2,749.00

The 2022 G. Gould GGi5 SST (Sweet Spot Turbo) is a premium American-made boutique bass that delivers the legendary performance graphite-neck instruments are known for. Finished in sleek Black, this 5-string features G. Gould's renowned graphite composite neck, providing unmatched stability, incredible sustain, and consistent playability in any climate. The proprietary Sweet Spot Turbo (SST) pickup configuration produces powerful lows, articulate mids, and crystal-clear highs with exceptional note definition and string-to-string balance, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.

This instrument has been upgraded with an EMG BQC 3-band active preamp featuring a stacked mid-sweep control, allowing you to precisely shape your midrange frequencies while dialing in powerful bass and sparkling treble. The result is an incredibly versatile instrument capable of everything from warm vintage-inspired tones to modern hi-fi clarity with outstanding headroom and low-noise performance. This bass is in excellent used condition, showing only a small cosmetic mark on the lower bout (see image) that does not penetrate the finish or affect performance. For bassists seeking boutique craftsmanship, professional-grade electronics, and the unmistakable feel of a graphite neck, the G. Gould GGi5 SST is an exceptional instrument built to perform for years to come.
