De Gier is a Dutch brand started by Sander De Gier in 1996.
He originally focused on making unique and modern bass guitars, but now his main focus is on products that push the Fender style.
The brand was originally highly regarded, but after releasing a JB-style model called BeBop, he has had his hands full with that work since it was so great.
Now, in addition to the Fender style, the lineup includes a unique model that takes on the Thunderbird style.
I first met De Gier at the Guitar Summit in Germany in 2022.
At first glance, I had high expectations for the appearance of the instrument, and I was convinced the moment I plucked a string.
I was so impressed by the overwhelmingly excellent quality that I started negotiations with them.
At first, for various reasons, it was difficult to sell them to the Japanese market, but after patiently negotiating with them, we have now started selling them. (It was really great, and I really wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians, so I persisted for a long time.)
) There were many other brands exhibiting at Guitar Summit, and I talked with many builders.
De Gier came up several times and seemed to be widely known for its capabilities.
Some of the builders even ordered basses for themselves from De Gier.
It is a brand that has such a great reputation in Europe and the United States.
And I myself have the same maximum appreciation for them.
This model is their most famous Fender style P bass.
The body is alder, the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic combination of woods.
The bridge is the original style, and the pegs are Hipshot.
The color is Candy Apple Red.
Three layers of finish give it a deep, elegant finish.
Including the color sense, we feel that De Gier's coloring is one of the best in the world.
The PU is made by Klopmann in Germany.
It is custom wound based on De Gier's request, and as a matter of course, the compatibility is excellent.
The circuit is simply passive with volume and tone.
The sound is bouncy and lush, with plenty of bass, rich mids, and juicy treble.
The sound tugs at the bassist's heartstrings while fulfilling the range required of a bass in an ensemble.
Despite being a 5-string bass, the 3rd and 4th strings have an endlessly open nuance, while the 1st and 2nd strings have not lost their delicious middle range.
It has a beautiful character from bottom to top with no negative elements.
The low B has an attractive pronunciation and trebly nuance, and I know of very few makers who can produce a bass like this.
This is what we have been looking for in a Fender-type 5-string.
We promise to be impressed.
