(It was truly amazing, so I really wanted to introduce it to Japanese musicians, and I persisted for quite some time.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other brands exhibited at Guitar Summit, and I spoke with various builders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier came up several times, and it seemed their capabilities were widely known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral builders even mentioned ordering custom basses from De Gier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's how highly regarded the brand is in Europe and America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd I myself hold them in the highest regard as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is their mega-hit, the BeBop 5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarcus Miller purchased a prototype of this model, and Richard Bona ordered one shortly after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt continues to be highly regarded by true musicians like them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is alder, and the fretboard is rosewood, a classic combination of woods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bridge is a custom-ordered original style from ETS, and the tuners are Hipshot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe color is Dakota Red.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt uses nitrocellulose lacquer as the paint and is finished with a relic treatment. The excellent atmosphere created by the coloring and relicing is one of De Gier's defining characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe finish is truly beautiful, and I feel their coloring skills are among the best in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Gier uses various pickups depending on the individual instrument, but this one has a Lindy Fralin pickup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it's basically a passive circuit, it features a custom Vanderkley Fatboost function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis slightly boosts the low frequencies, and by lowering the impedance, it reduces high-frequency loss, resulting in a nuance that feels like both the low and high frequencies are boosted simultaneously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is quite outstanding; it was a real eye-opener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sound is already perfect in its passive form, but adding just a little bit more gives it an even more powerful punch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis minimalist yet highly effective design is sure to impress every bassist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third knob is the passive tone control, but the push-pull switch allows you to adjust how the tone is affected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen rolling back the tone, you might want to round off the high frequencies for a warmer sound, or conversely, strongly emphasize the high-mids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNormally, this would be adjusted by the capacitor choice, but this function makes it easy to select either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fourth knob is a rotary switch that turns the Fatboost on and off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite being a 5-string bass, the 3rd and 4th strings retain an open nuance, while the 1st and 2nd strings don't lose their sweet midrange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd the 5th string retains that gritty, trebly JB feel, overflowing with a fresh, vibrant tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is exactly what we've been looking for in a 5-string JB.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe promise you'll be impressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frets have approximately 80% remaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe truss rod is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paintwork show dents, scratches, and paint peeling, but due to the aged finish, it's impossible to determine if these are later-accidental.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe electronics are in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo obvious modifications were observed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControls: Neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone (push-pull for adjustable tone), Fatboost on\/off switch, preamp gain (in cavity)\u003cbr\u003eNut width: 45.5mm\u003cbr\u003eBridge string spacing: 19mm\u003cbr\u003eScale length: 34 inches\u003cbr\u003eYear of manufacture: 2024\u003cbr\u003eCountry of manufacture: NETHERLANDS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring setup, we used D'addario EXL strings, highly trusted by professional musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharacterized by a powerful attack and rich harmonics, these strings truly deserve to be called a standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese high-quality strings maximize the instrument's performance and character, so please enjoy them as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB's craftsmen will adjust the instrument for easy playability before delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a consignment item, so shipping costs may differ from the usual rates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Gig bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Shunsuke Saga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspection 담당: Kawami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct photos: Muragishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB 3-month warranty included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Warranty is only valid for purchases made within Japan)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Price includes VAT \u0026amp; Duties \u0026amp; Shipping Fee\u003cbr\u003eFree Shipping Worldwide.
