(It was so amazing that I really wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians, so I persisted for a long time.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other brands were exhibiting at Guitar Summit, and I spoke with a variety of builders.\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier came up several times, and their skills seemed to be widely known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral builders even said they had ordered basses from De Gier for themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's how highly acclaimed the brand is in Europe and the United States.\u003cbr\u003eAnd I personally hold it in the highest regard as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is their smash hit, the BeBop5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarcus Miller purchased the prototype of this model, and Richard Bona ordered one soon after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt continues to be highly acclaimed by serious musicians like them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is alder, and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic wood combination.\u003cbr\u003eThe bridge is an original style custom-ordered from ETS, and the tuners are Hipshot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color is Filemist Silver.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a truly beautiful finish. I feel their color coordination is among the best in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier uses a variety of pickups depending on the guitar, but for this one it's Lollar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it's basically a passive circuit, it's equipped with a custom Vanderkley Fatboost function.\u003cbr\u003eThis slightly boosts the bass range and lowers the impedance, reducing high-frequency loss, giving the impression of a simultaneous boost in both the bass and treble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is quite outstanding, and it was an eye-opener for me.\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is already complete with passive, but it's as if adding just a little to it gives it an even more powerful punch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis minimalist yet maximally effective design will impress any bassist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third knob is the passive tone, and the tone can be adjusted with a push-pull switch.\u003cbr\u003eWhen turned down, you'll want to round out the highs for a warmer sound, or conversely, you'll want to emphasize the high-mids more.\u003cbr\u003eWhile these are normally adjusted by capacitor selection, this feature makes it easy to select either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fourth knob is a rotary switch that turns Fatboost on and off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it's a 5-string bass, the 3rd and 4th strings have an open nuance, while the 1st and 2nd strings retain their delicious mid-range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the 5th string retains the thumping, treble feel that's characteristic of a JB, while remaining full of fresh intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is exactly what we were looking for in a 5-string JB.\u003cbr\u003eWe guarantee you'll be impressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●SPECS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlder body\u003cbr\u003eMaple neck\u003cbr\u003eRosewood fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eDots\u003cbr\u003eMatching headstock\u003cbr\u003eLollar pickups\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar is tuned by GIB craftsmen for optimal playability before being delivered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Gig bag, hex wrench, spec sheet, warranty card\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by: Tatsuma Terao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspector: Hayakawa\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photos: Miura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◯ About the GIB and TONIQ Warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● Lifetime Free Maintenance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstruments purchased from our store are eligible for a lifetime free \"string vibration setup\" (normally ¥4,400).
