On hold

Thank you, my friend! 🙏 You're right! I can say that this bass is the best bass I ever touched (and I had a lot of them), speaking about the craftsmanship. It's out of this world. The sound is also extremely good, but this topic is subjective, of course.

Specs (can also be read on the warranty certificate - the last picture): Swamp ash body Maple neck Maple fingerboard Pearloid block inlays & pickguard (they are made from the same plastic plate) Olympic white relic finish with matching headstock Brass bridge - aged chrome Hipshot ultralite tuners - aged chrome Electronics: - Hepcat '62 pickups in 70's position (the previous owner replaced the Fralin pickups for a vintage/punchy tone. I didn't receive the Fralin pickups) - Custom made Vanderkley preamp - Neck pickup volume, push/pull for active/passive. The bass can work without battery (I like that!) due to the passive pickups. Then the pot is a killswitch pot too - Bridge pickup volume - Tone, push/pull for modern/vintage tone (0.022/0.047 µF capacitors). The tone pot works in both modes - passive and active - Active bass - boost only - Active treble - boost only Scale 34" Weight - around 3.5 Kg Original De Gier gigbag Mint condition Price 2999,99 Euro 😁, fully insured shipping to EU countries included. I can send to the potential buyers more pictures and sound clips (on my Youtube channel). Trade option: De Gier 5-string bass My feedback topic:

It's 34", I forgot to write in the ad. Thank you!

The top is buckeye burl I have a very similar bass and it has (almost) the same top. The fretboard seems to be wenge, but maybe I'm wrong. The heel-top looks like walnut and rosewood (?) contrast layer. Amazing bass! GLWTS!

Color closer to reality...

You can see/hear the bass here. The ex-owner is a very skilled bass player, so... enjoy!

I received this bass in a partial trade, but I have no reasons to keep it because I already have the basses and the sound I need. Unfortunately, it's impossible to catch in the pictures (made with my phone) the real color of the bass. That ruby red is dark and elegant. I will make new pictures with a real photo camera, it deserves. Specs: Made in Taiwan Alder body Flame maple veneer top Maple neck Ebony fretboard (the frets are almost new) Brass bridge, 16.5 mm string spacing Yamaha alnico passive humbuckers Yamaha active preamp. Pots: Vol + Blend + Bass + Mids + Treble 5 Kilos Technical condition 10/10, aesthetically condition 8/10. The hardware and the knobs are oxidized a little bit, the lacquer on the headstock and the truss rods holes area turned a little bit white and the lacquer on the back of the neck turns green. All of this doesn't affect the sound and the playability. You can see everything in the pictures. Price: 700€ (negotiable) + shipping cost to EU countries

I wanted to sell this bass to have money for a surgery, but I got the money I need, so I’m withdrawing the bass from sale. It’s not played very much, but it’s too good to let it go. Thank you!

This is not a bass guitar, this is pure art. GLWTS!

A friend of mine has a very similar bass. When I put that bass on, I felt like I was born with it, that it was part of me. Very balanced. I didn't feel those 5 Kilos. I had a lot of basses, but only Ken Lawrence and Mike Lull had a perfect balance like this Mayones. Also, the sound and the craftsmanship are amazing. GLWTS!

You can't even imagine how much money Brexit saved me 😝

Long story short… back for sale. This time with the original preamp. Specs: - Made in Japan, 11.06.’86-‘89 (serial number 2M11 056). Regarding the manufacturing year(s), this is the information that I found on the internet. Please correct me if I’m wrong. - Sandwich body: flame maple-rosewood(?)-flame maple - Neckthru 5-piece maple-mahogany - Ebony fingerboard - Scale 33 7/8”. The B string is HUGE and very focused, piano like - String spacing at the bridge 19 mm - Piezo brass bridge - Nut width 56 mm - Bartolini G66CBJD B1/T1 pickups !!! The original pickups are in perfect technical condition and will be delivered with the bass. Due to the solderless connections, it will take 2 minutes to change them, if wanted - Weight 5.5 kg on my bathroom scale. On the internet I found that it weighs “only” 5 kg, so… I don’t know exactly. Anyway, it’s heavy (like the sound) - Original hard case The bass is in very good condition for its age, it has only few minor dings/dongs that don’t affect the playability (no damages on the back of the neck). I can make and send more pictures to the potential buyer. Price: 1800€ + shipping cost to EU countries No trades and the price is firm. Thank you!
