(It was so amazing that I really wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians, so I persisted for a long time.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral builders even said they had ordered basses from De Gier for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's how highly regarded the brand is in Europe and the United States.\u003cbr\u003eAnd I personally hold them in the highest regard as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is their smash hit, the BeBop5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcus Miller purchased the prototype of this model, and Richard Bona ordered one soon after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt continues to be highly esteemed by serious musicians like them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is made of ash and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, a classic wood construction inspired by 1970s Fenders.\u003cbr\u003eGIB has often offered alder\/rosewood and ash\/maple specifications, and this one does not disappoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bridge is an original style custom ordered from ETS, and the tuners are Hipshot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color is Sunburst.\u003cbr\u003eThe finish is truly beautiful. I feel their coloring is among the best in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Gier uses a variety of pickups depending on the individual guitar, but for this one they chose Lollar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the circuit is basically passive, it is equipped with a custom Vanderkley Fatboost function.\u003cbr\u003eThis slightly boosts the bass and reduces high-frequency loss by lowering impedance, giving the feeling that both the bass and treble are boosted simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is quite outstanding, and was an eye-opener for me.\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is already complete with passive, but just adding a little extra adds an even more powerful punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis minimalist yet maximum-effective design is sure to impress any bassist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third knob is a passive tone knob, but you can adjust the tone with the push-pull switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you turn it down, you'll want to round out the high frequencies for a warmer sound, or, conversely, emphasize the high mids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile these are usually adjusted by choosing a capacitor, this function makes it easy to choose either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth knob is a rotary switch that turns the Fatboost on and off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the 5th string is full of fresh intonation without losing the thumping, treble feel that's characteristic of a JB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is exactly what we were looking for in a 5-string JB.\u003cbr\u003eWe guarantee you'll be impressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e●SPECS\u003cbr\u003eAsh body\u003cbr\u003eMaple neck\u003cbr\u003eRosewood fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eLollar pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar will be tuned by GIB craftsmen for comfortable playability before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Gig bag, hex wrench, spec sheet, warranty card\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by: Tatsuma Terao\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspector: Toue\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photos: Tei\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◯ About the GIB and TONIQ Warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e● Lifetime Free Maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstruments purchased from our store are eligible for a lifetime free \"\"string vibration setup\"\" (normally ¥4,400).
