De Gier News

Let me introduce you this week to a new brand of guitar ánd bass DIY effect kits: Moody Sounds.  These kits are what you are looking for if you’re chasing after your unique sound and style. These kits come from Sweden and consist of the highest quality parts. Instructions are very clear and the parts are already sorted and labeled, so no hard time figuring out all the resistors, capacitors, etc… Check out the Moody Sounds YouTube channel for videos, how-to’s and samples.

This week we’re finishing the top coat of the Elevations I showed you last week. These basses will be ready for final assembly pretty soon, so don’t take your eyes of this space as there will be limited time to try these babies as they will fly out very quickly once they are finished… 

See you next week…

Hello and good morning to you all..! First off thank you for visiting our website to check out what’s happening at De Gier Guitars & Basses. 

This week Sander is in the finishing process of three new Elevations and we’re still not getting used to the beauty of these basses! You’ve seen these beauties before but I’ve made a few quick pictures of how they look after a couple of coats of filler. The first one you see below is a five string Elevation, body wood is Abachi, something extraordinary..! It sounds killer but weighs so little you’d think it’s hollow! It has a yellowish colour and smells enormously when it’s processed, but it’s very much worth it. The sound of this bass is going to hold more tone than you can handle..!
We’ve used Camphor Burl on the top, and back as you can see, who said anything about a tiger? Here’s a De Gier “leopard”:

And here is another De Gier Elevation… This five string Elevation features an Alder body, Buckey Burl top. No more words, a picture says more than… you know what I mean.

Need I say more?

As some of you already know we build guitars and basses… (seriously? )
These instruments are built with much love and tender care. The outcome is a guitar or bass of which we feel that it’s a great and amazing instrument, in the hands of any musician, who can feel this instrument and who will take it and let him/her be taken to another level, a deeper level…
There’s not one detail missed in the design of these guitars and every bit of work on these instruments is given as much attention as it can handle.

Our goal is that these guitars and basses find their way into your hands so you can get a grip on these beauties… This is also one of the reasons why we’ve named our latest guitar model ‘Authority’ – this guitar demands authority over any other guitar out there..!
We want to let it speak for itself. You must understand this isn’t just your average high-end guitar, it’s something else… It goes beyond…!
We already have had quite a number of people taking up the challenge to come by and try to tame it, and few have succeeded.

As you’ve probably seen the pictures of last week, you will know there are three new Elevations being prepared for this journey. If you read this and something inside you is stirring you might want to take the opportunity to let us know… We can give you a notice once these beauties are finished so you can come by and see if you are up to the challenge!

Before I forget, on our YouTube channel we have a new video of an amazing bass player, Vincenzo Maurogiovanni, who has found his match…  At the moment we are working on a new six string Elevation custom built to live up to the high standards of this amazing virtuoso.

That’s all for this week, see you next week..!
