BEBOP
A reinterpretation of a timeless classic
For years I was hesitant to make this bass. Just like our customers, I am an artist, and I did not want to be bound by the constraints of tradition. I was young and creative and wanted to innovate. Eventually, I came to understand that we all stand on somebody else’s shoulders. And that innovations can be created while still tipping your hat to tradition.
This became my goal for BeBop.

De BeBop geeft hierdoor veel Jazz Bass-kopieën het nakijken.
Das hier ist weit mehr als nur ein “guter Allrounder”. C’est un Monsieur. Jazz Bass mit mehr Pixels.
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.

Fatboost | The De Gier/Vanderkley 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 12dB boost of low frequencies. (We set it at about 4dB standard). 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. |
