(We persisted for a long time because it was really great and we definitely wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians.)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere were many other brands exhibiting at Guitar Summit, and I spoke to many different builders.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDe Gier came up several times and seemed to be widely known for its capabilities.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome builders even ordered basses for themselves from De Gier.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThat's how great a reputation the brand has in Europe and the US.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd I have the same maximum appreciation for them myself.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis model is their big hit, the BeBop5.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe prototype of this model was purchased by Marcus Miller, and soon afterwards Richard Bona also ordered one.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt continues to be highly regarded by real musicians like them.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe body is made of alder and the fingerboard is rosewood, a classic wood combination.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe bridge is in the original style and the pegs are Hipshot.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColour is Atomic Orange.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's a really beautiful finish and matching head version.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI feel their colouring is one of the best in the world.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDe Gier uses a variety of PUs depending on the individual, and this one has a custom Lindy Fralin.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's custom wound and custom made.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is made for the Be Bop5, so the chemistry is naturally excellent.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is essentially a passive circuit, but with a custom Vanderkley Fatboost feature.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis slightly lifts the low frequencies and also reduces the loss of high frequencies by lowering the impedance, so that the experience is more like boosting the low and high frequencies at the same time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis was quite outstanding and eye-opening.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sound is complete when passive, but by adding just a little more to it, it seems as if an even more intense punch can be obtained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll bassists will be impressed by this minimalist yet maximally effective design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third knob is passive tone, but you can adjust how the tone works by means of a push-pull switch.\u003cbr\u003eThere are times when you want to round out the big highs and make them warmer, especially when you squeeze it down, and other times when you want to emphasise the high mids more strongly.\u003cbr\u003eNormally, this would be adjusted by selecting a capacitor, but this function makes it easy to do both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fourth knob is a rotary switch that turns the Fatboost on and off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being a five-string bass, the third and fourth strings are endlessly open and nuanced, while the first and second strings have not lost their delicious mid-range.\u003cbr\u003eAnd the 5-string has a lush, trebly, JB-like feel without losing any of its lush, trebly character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is exactly what we were looking for in a 5-string JB.\u003cbr\u003eWe promise to impress you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ealder body\u003cbr\u003emaple neck\u003cbr\u003erosewood fingerboard\u003cbr\u003eAtomic Orange (chevrolet)\u003cbr\u003ematching
