(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 came up 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 ordered one shortly after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt continues to be highly regarded by true musicians like them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a show model from the 2026 Guitar Summit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is Swamp Ash, the neck is Roasted Maple, and the fretboard is Bubinga.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bridge is an original style custom-ordered from ETS, and the tuning machines are GOTOH RES-O-LITE. The color is a vibrant and beautiful Trans White.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir coloring skills are among the best in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier uses various pickups depending on the individual instrument, but this particular instrument uses Lollar pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA custom-wound original model made exclusively for the BeBop5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it's basically a passive circuit, it also features a custom Vanderkley Fatboost function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt slightly boosts the low frequencies, and the reduced impedance minimizes high-frequency loss, 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 create an even more powerful impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis minimalist yet highly effective design is sure to impress every bassist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third knob is the passive tone control, but the tone's effect can be adjusted via a push-pull switch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen rolling back the tone, sometimes you want to round off the high frequencies for a warmer sound, and other times you want to strongly emphasize the high-mids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNormally, this would be adjusted by the capacitor choice, but this function makes it easy to choose either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fourth knob is a rotary switch that turns Fatboost on and off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being a 5-string bass, the 3rd and 4th strings retain a pleasant, open nuance with a nice low-mid range, while the 1st and 2nd strings retain a harmonically rich midrange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the 5th string doesn't lose that trebly, JB-like feel, overflowing with a fresh, 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\u003eSwamp Ash Body\u003cbr\u003eRoasted Maple Neck\u003cbr\u003eBubinga Fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eBone Nut\u003cbr\u003eLollar Pickups\u003cbr\u003eTrans White\u003cbr\u003eBlack Pearl PG\u003cbr\u003eNeck Width (Nut): 46.2mm\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 19.0mm\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 34 Inch\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\u003eInspection 담당: Terao\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photos: Tei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Price includes VAT \u0026amp; Duties \u0026amp; Shipping Fee\u003cbr\u003eFree Shipping Worldwide.
