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 evaluation.
This model is the Soulmate 51, which is based on the OPB.
The body is Ash and the fingerboard is one-piece Maple with no lamination.
The specs are faithful to the classic style.
The paint is Blonde color, and it is a Relic spec.
The finish is truly beautiful, and we feel that their coloring is the best in the world.
The pickguard and bridge saddle are made of bakelite.
De Gier uses a variety of PUs depending on the individual instrument, and this particular instrument has a Kloppmann.
The sound is wild and massive, filling the low to midrange.
Some OPBs can be extremely unwieldy and too peppy, but this particular one is by far the best performer and feels stable based on its sophisticated design.
With an OPB like this, you will want to play it all the time.
This is a real one that is highly appreciated by the BASS GEEK staff at GIB.
Highly recommended.
