“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 style of Gibson.
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 the moment I plucked a string, I was convinced.
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 a Soulmate following the style of Fender, which they are most proud of.
The body is Alder, the fingerboard is Rosewood, a classic combination of woods.
The bridge and tuners are GOTOH.
PU is Lindy Fralin.
Passive circuit with simple volume and tone.
Painted with nitrocellulose lacquer and finished with a relic finish.
The atmosphere created by the coloring and the brick process is one of the characteristics of De Gier.
The quality is really high.
The pickguard is gold anodized.
The sound is bouncy and lush, with plenty of bass, rich mids, and juicy treble.
The sound fulfills the range required of a bass in an ensemble, while also tugging at the heartstrings of the bassist.
This is what we bassists are looking for.
We promise to impress you.
