Can someone identify this bass?
the band is deerhoof. i saw them a few years ago when they still had chris cohen in the band and the bass he was playing sounded so awesome. i really would love to know what it was. unfortunately i don't have any photos of the headstock, just the neck and body as above.
anyway if someone knows what it is that'd be sweet.

It's definitely a Goya - couldn't find another picture of one, but there's a picture of its 6-string equivalent on this page:

It's the Rangemaster (second row from bottom)
My band supported Cryptacize in the UK last year and Aaron uses one of these - it perhaps belongs to Chris Cohen, who was also in Deerhoof when your pictures were taken. Hmmm.....

Very Cool!
What an exotic looking bass. Have never seen one before. Do you know what kind of amp it was being played through?
richierichie: I'm impressed by your knowledge and research diligence. I wouldn't have known where to begin.
Thanks to both of you!

here's the Galanti version, they were made in the same factory, different headstock and PG shape:

I have wanted one of these for quite a while. I have two Galanti guitars and they're my faves.

Great Visuals
I have no idea how these basses sound, but their visual aesthetics are brilliant. The Italian sensibility of design comes through in a very appealing way.

ha, that would be it then. photos on cryptacize's myspace page reveal the very same guitar. the internet is so great for figuring out stuff like this.richierichie wrote:It's definitely a Goya - couldn't find another picture of one, but there's a picture of its 6-string equivalent on this page:
