De Gier News

Another week has passed and again a lot of new things to tell you! First of all, it’s holiday season and:

We’ll be closed from 5-9 August!

Having that said it’s now time for some more important things… We’re busy with editing all the footage we’ve made at the North Sea Jazz festival and there’s a lot of fun stuff on tape. But as you all know this takes time to edit and decide what’s going out and what’s not. Anyway, the first video has made it to YouTube! We decided to start with a short one of our new endorser Habib Faye! Check out this link or go to our channel @ YouTube to find out more! We’ll try to get a new video out to YouTube every week, so make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you won’t miss out..!

Besides that we’re of course also pretty busy with the making of a couple of new basses…

You already know about the six string Elevation we’re making at the moment… So we won’t bother you with the fact that it is going to be one of the most beautiful bass guitars we’ve built so far.

Besides that we’re also very busy in editing the film we’ve shot at North Sea Jazz… There are some pretty amazing musicians on it!
Unfortunately we can’t give you a sneak preview just yet, so make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel so you won’t miss out!

The film we’ve made of the making of the two first Elevation Custom Limited Edition models was also the first of a lot more ‘making-of’ films.
If there’s anything specific you would like to see about the making of any of our instruments just send as a message/mail with your question and
we’ll do our best to get it out to you as soon as possible..!

Oh, before we forget, as you all know (of course) we have a new international endorser for our bass guitars – Habib Faye. Ad as the first video material
is already appearing on YouTube, we decided to make a challenge for you..!

The first person to send us a clear picture of Habib Faye, on stage, with his 4 string De Gier Origin will get a nice gift of us that will
surely improve his (or her) sound!

Check out this short snippet of him with Angelique Kidjo on stage in Paris.. The guitarist on the left is another good friend of De Gier.
His name is Rubens de la Corte! Don’t forget that name..!
