In progress De Gier Bebop 4 string Jazz Bass

Dutch Bass builder Sander de Gier is builing me a brand new Jazz Bass. Incredible good builder of top quality intruments and also very nice person.

Marcus Miller and Richard Bona bought #1 AND #2.

Looks nice. I remember seeing that MM and RB "took" numbers 1 and 2. I wonder if they bought them or actually endorse the de Gier or if they just received basses. I haven't nosed around the site much...just wondering.

No, they didn't received the bass for free or have an endorsement. It's a Dutch builder, so it can't be for free ;)

MM & RB just liked the bass. MM endorse Fender en RB is connected to Fodera for many years.

Sander de Gier received a message from RB that the bass is a real killer. Saterday I go to De Gier to pick up my new Bebop (#7)
 
Cool. :)

Your bass looks great...if you could post your thoughts about it after you've had it for some time, I'd appreciate it.

I also noticed you have quite the amplification to test it through! :eek: That should sound incredible.
 
I have 2 BeBop's like pictured ordered, one fretted and one fretless. Will be ready to ship in a few days.:hyper:
