(It was truly amazing, and I absolutely wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians, so I persisted quite a bit.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other brands exhibited at Guitar Summit, and I spoke with various builders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier was mentioned several times, and it seemed their capabilities were widely known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral builders even mentioned ordering custom basses from De Gier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's how highly regarded the brand is in Europe and America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd I myself hold them in the highest regard as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is their mega-hit, the BeBop 5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarcus Miller purchased a prototype of this model, and Richard Bona immediately ordered one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt continues to be highly regarded by true musicians like them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a show model from Guitar Summit 2026.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is alder, and the neck and fretboard are one-piece roasted maple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe one-piece neck and roasted maple were introduced with this show model, and it will be possible to order this specification in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bridge is a custom-ordered original style from ETS, and the tuning machines are GOTOH RES-O-LITE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color is a vibrant and beautiful Silver Green.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir coloring skills are among the best in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe headstock also features binding, giving it a luxurious feel befitting a show model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier uses various pickups depending on the individual instrument, but this one is equipped with Lollar pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a custom-wound original model made exclusively for the BeBop5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it is basically a passive circuit, it also features a custom Vanderkley Fatboost function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy slightly boosting the low frequencies and lowering the impedance, high-frequency loss is reduced, resulting in a nuance that feels like both the low and high frequencies are boosted simultaneously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is already complete in passive mode, but simply pushing it a little further seems to give it an even more intense impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis minimalist yet highly effective design is sure to impress every bassist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third knob controls the passive tone, but a push-pull switch allows you to adjust how the tone is affected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen rolling off the tone, you might want to round off the high frequencies for a warmer sound, or conversely, strongly emphasize the high-mids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNormally, this would be adjusted by the capacitor choice, but this feature makes it easy to select either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fourth knob is a rotary switch that turns the Fatboost on and off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being a 5-string bass, the 3rd and 4th strings retain a pleasant, open nuance with rich low-mids, while the 1st and 2nd strings retain a harmonically rich midrange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the 5th string retains that trebly, classic JB feel, overflowing with vibrant pitch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is exactly what we've been looking for in a 5-string JB.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe promise you'll be impressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●SPECS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlder Body\u003cbr\u003e1P Maple Neck\u003cbr\u003eBone Nut\u003cbr\u003eLollar Pickups\u003cbr\u003eSilver Green\u003cbr\u003eAged White Pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDelivered after being adjusted for easy playability by GIB's craftsmen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Gig bag, warranty card, spec sheet, hex wrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Ryoma Terao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspection 담당: Baba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct photos: Higashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Price includes VAT \u0026amp; Duties \u0026amp; Shipping Fee\u003cbr\u003eFree Shipping Worldwide.
