origin

Fluid as a rock

Don't build your house on shifty grounds and don't get into the groove without something solid you can lean on. Get your low end together. Give the drummer something to hold on. Give the guitarplayer something to dive into. Give the keys something to walk on. Give the audience something to dance on.
Give the critics something to argue about.

Quotes


Dit is een bas die inspireert het beste uit jezelf te halen. Alles lijkt zoveel makkelijker te gaan…

-Gitarist


De Gier hat einen schönen Fretless gebaut, den man gerne anfasst. Dabei steht dann gar nicht die spektakuläre Holzoptik im vordergrund, sondern einfach ein guter Bass, dessen Aussehen und die vorzüglichen klangeigenschaften den Spieler beflügeln können.

-Gitarre und Bass


Sander de Gier ist durch seine Erfahrung und sein Know-How in der Lage, sehr hochwertige Instrumente zu bauen.

-Bass Professor


Zweifellos, dieser Mann kann feine Bässe bauen.

-Gitarre und Bass


Uff, dieser Bass ist nicht nur wunderschön, sondern auch noch überuas userfreundlich. Gefingert und geslappt hält er ein toller Spielgefuhl bereit - so soll das sein...!

-Bass Professor


ze bas speelt echt als een pakje boter. Alles aan dit instrument ademt topklasse, en tijdens het spelen merk je dat opnieuw. Veel moeilijke licks gaan ineens vanzelf en de groovy inspiratie komt weer met bakken uit de lucht gekletterd. Niets dan lof voor deze bas.

-BassMagazine

Try one before ordering.

We always have some instruments in stock that were not ordered. We do this to serve our customers who first want to try out a few guitars or basses before they decide. Of course these are for sale too. The De Gier Origin is also available at our german dealer Session Music.
