The Dutch boutique bass that proves vintage character and modern precision are not mutually exclusive
De Gier Guitars is one of the most respected boutique guitar builders in the Netherlands, and the Soulmate Classic 4 PJ in Vice Presidential Blue perfectly demonstrates why. This isn't a bass you buy because it sounds good on paper. This is an instrument you play and then understand: every detail is thought out, every component chosen for a reason.
The sound of the Soulmate Classic PJ is immediate and organic. The combination of a Fralin bridge pickup and a reverse Precision pickup delivers a tonal palette that encompasses both the warm, full body of a classic P-bass and the bright, defined attack of a J-bass. The alder body gives the sound a balanced midrange with a natural resonance you can feel in your hands. The 34" scale length and compound fretboard (7.25" to 12" radius) provide playing comfort that feels excellent in both the lower positions and high up the neck.
The neck is constructed from hard maple with a rosewood veneer fretboard and a classic 'C' profile that feels familiar to those accustomed to vintage-inspired instruments. The 20 medium jumbo frets (6150) provide ample grip without being intrusive. Gotoh vintage-style tuners and a Gotoh 4-saddle bridge ensure stable tuning and direct string-to-body transfer. The binding and red tortoise pickguard give this instrument a visual refinement that matches its class. Comes with a gig bag.
The Soulmate Classic 4 PJ in Vice Presidential Blue is a bass for the player who knows what they're looking for and is willing to invest in an instrument that will last a lifetime.
