De Gier BeBop | De Gier Guitars & Basses

Which one will you take?

We have spent years to develop this bass. It is our interpretation of a classic. This bass is not a look-alike, it is a total redesign of the original concept. You will find this bass very easy to play, thick tone with low setup. There are many small details that we changed to our style. The result is the De Gier BeBop. It is not the next copy, but an original in itself. Perhaps that is why Marcus Miller took our first and Richard Bona our second. So, which one will you take?

De Gier/Vanderkley Fatboost

The fatboost is an active but subtle bass boost. It is designed to keep the sound as close as possible to the original passive sound. The boost is activated by a switch and gives you a maximum of 6dB boost of low frequencies. It is ultra low noise. The result is as if your passive sound grew up intstantly. In the off position it is true bypass for a 100% passive sound.

Quotes

De BeBop geeft hierdoor veel Jazz Bass-kopieën het nakijken.

-Gitarist

Das hier ist weit mehr als nur ein "guter Allrounder". C'est un Monsieur. Jazz Bass mit mehr Pixels.

-Bass Quarterly

Uiteindelijk is de De Gier de mooist gebouwde en best klinkende van de twee. Je voelt de liefde en het hoogstaande handwerk. De BeBop klinkt simpelweg zoals een top-Jazz zou moeten klinken, en dat is voor ons toch de doorslaggevende factor.

-Bassist
