De Gier is a Dutch brand founded by Sander De Gier in 1996.
He originally made unique and modern bass guitars, but now he mainly makes products that emphasize the Fender style.
It was originally a highly regarded brand, but since the release of the JB-style model called BeBop, it has been so amazing that he has been busy with that work.
In addition to the Fender style, the lineup now also includes unique models that incorporate the Gibson style.
I met De Gier at the Guitar Summit held in Germany in 2022.
At first glance, I was excited by the appearance, and the moment I plucked the strings, that turned into conviction.
The overwhelming quality was so impressive that I started negotiations.
At first, it was difficult to sell to Japan for various reasons, but after persistent negotiations, we have now started selling. (It was so amazing that I really wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians, so I was persistent.)
Many other brands were exhibiting at Guitar Summit, and I spoke with various builders.
De Gier came up several times, and their skills seemed to be widely known.
Some builders even ordered basses from De Gier for themselves.
That's how highly regarded the brand is in the West.
And I also think highly of them.
This model is a Soulmate that follows the Fender style that they are best at.
The body is alder and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic wood combination.
The bridge and tuners are GOTOH.
The PU is Kloppmann.
It is simply assembled with a passive circuit of volume and tone.
The paint is nitrocellulose lacquer, and it is finished with relic processing.
The good atmosphere created by the coloring and relic processing is one of the characteristics of De Gier.
The quality is really high.
The pickguard is gold anodized.
The sound is fresh and playable, with a rich bass, rich midrange, and juicy treble.
It meets the range required for the bass in an ensemble, and the sound also strikes a chord with bassists.
This is what we bassists are looking for.
I promise you will be impressed.
