I didn't share pics of my first De Gier Bebop after it was delivered.

I had no time, because I could not put this bass away :hmm::hyper:

It souds and looks much better than great. I own a lot of top basses, like Fender JJ Custom Shop, Sadowsky (great top basses) and many more, but this bass is my darling for every day.

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.

Getting even taller? We're already the tallest people on earth... I felt like a giant when I was in NYC...

And yes, the Bebop basses are killer! I've played a couple now, and all of them are great :) Fantastic consistent quality ánd De Gier is very quick building them. I wanna have a 5-string fretless.

I received my Bebop 4 last Friday, number #86, this is my review:

- Excellent workmanship, a little below Sadowsky
- Gig bag looks cheap although it serve the purpose
- Heavier than Sadowsky
- Tone is awesome

But despite all , I have a serious problem, hissing noise, like lack of grounding.
Can anybody help?

Thanks
