Quite strangely, it's certainly better than any of these so called high end or boutique basses, but nobody seems to know it, except Richard Bona and a few others who can think by their own.

If I wasn't that comfortable with 36 inches I'd keep it, for sure.

Just ask those who tried De Gier basses what they think about them...
