Custom G. Gould Geoff Gould Graphite Neck Red Nara GGi4 Bass - #1246 - 8.3 pounds 2017 Red Nara

This features a rarely seen Red Nara top that Geoff located on a recent “wood safari”.

Along with the graphite neck, the bass also features a phenolic fingerboard. Pickups are the EMG-35CSX humbucker in the bridge, and an EMG-35PX split coil in the neck, with the BTS active bass/treble system.

rare top is a piece of beeswing red narra, originally from Laos.  The species is pterocarpus indicus.  It’s hard to see in these pictures, but the wood has a lacy glow up close, thus the name ‘beeswing.’  The book matched top is over some low-density swamp ash, so along with the low mass tuners, the bass only weighs 8.3 lbs.
