HazBeen Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Will snap detailed pics over the weekend, but here's a few I took at pick up. It sounds incredible and build quality is as good as any Lull or Sadowsky I have owned. Wow.... Loving the black pick guard on 2 tone burst! I had quite a long chat with Sander, trying to persuade him to go to London Bass show next year. Who knows.....

Hector Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Looks lovely! I like mine so much that I'm actually pretty excited on your behalf. You were dead right about that burst working with the black pg too. I tried to convince Sander to come over to London for the show this year, but he didn't in the end. Maybe you'll have more luck Edited July 16, 2015 by Hector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 That looks lovely H, worth the wait I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Wait was very doable too. De Gier builds in batches, I ordered it end of April but he did not start until early/mid June, so really just over a month to build. Over the years he has been able to automate some of the "coarse" work and that speeds things up. Paint and fine wood work is what takes the time. His full on custom one offs take more time I am sure.... Anyway, the neck is super comfortable, really thin but because it is quite wide it feels very solid. Love the banjo frets on it. I will make some sound clips in future as well. I went a little "non standard" with my swamp ash body, it gives it a certain thickness in the lows and clarity in the higher register that you do not find in alder bodied instruments. The reason I went for Lollars is because the offset the slight mid scoop the woods give. Aeros would have made it too woolly, Nordies too aggressive in the highs. Having spent an evening with my new friend, I have made the right choices for what I want. Another cool feature I have found and am playing around with: the tone know is push pull and selects between 2 capacitors the standard 0.47 uF (am I missing a 0?) and slightly less standard 0.22 uF. The difference is subtle, but when you roll back on treble the 0.22 is a little rounder, the 0.47 a little more muddy. Gives quite a different tone when palm muting. Cool little trick on what for all intents and purposes is a passive bass. Very very happy. [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1437076172' post='2823460'] That looks lovely H, worth the wait I'm sure.
