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 best Fender style JB.
Being a Classic model, it does not have an active circuit and the bridge is a spiral.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic combination of woods.
The bridge is the original style, and the pegs are Hipshot.
PU is Kloppmann.
Passive circuit with simple volume and tone.
Painted with nitrocellulose lacquer and finished with a brick finish.
This atmosphere created by the coloring and the brick process is one of the characteristics of De Gier.
The quality is really high.
The treble strings sound rich in overtones with a soft touch, and the bass strings support the ensemble with the same feeling but with a strong fundamental sound - the ideal JB.
It promises to impress.
