This review is from: Dean Acoustic-Electric Bass Cutaway 5 String Satin Finish (Electronics)
I’ve never ordered an instrument online before so I was a bit nervous that it would be junk. I was happy to get it and find that it is a pretty nice guitar. The EQ isn’t much but I not too worried about that anyway ’cause I got it to play acousticly. It has a really nice sound and I can’t believe how loud it is even with the b string. Good Bass and is worth the money. I’m Happy with it.

This bass is great. I had a bit of trouble at first with the neck, and turning the truss rod didn’t fix it. I called Dean and told them this and they said I should probably return it. I put in a return request with Amazon and by morning, the dysfunctional bass was gone and it’s replacement was in the mail. Exceptionally fast service. I received the new bass a few days later, and it is spectacular. I have played an electric bass for 4 years, but I needed something unplugged to jam around camp fires. This instrument is perfect for that. It is beautiful, has a deep booming sound and it works very well plugged in as well. Overall a great buy, especially for the money.

This is a great acoustic bass, but not out of the box by itself.
First of all, like most stock guitars and basses right from the manufacturer, the strings it comes with are terrible! Also, the frets are typically coated to prevent rusting during transport from China/Japan/Korea or where ever it is manufactured. When you buy an instrument from a music store, they typically do all the prep work for you. Purchasing through Amazon, you are essentially purchasing direct from the manufacturer and so you have to do the prep. Most guitars/basses ship with the strings detuned so the neck was not under tension during shipment. This was the case with my bass also. Remove the manufacturers strings, and clean the neck with a plain, dust free cloth. I purchased one from a local store that is made for cleaning LCD/LED TV screens that was microfiber. Next, put on the new strings. I strongly recommend light bronze strings, and I purchased a set of D’Addario EPBB170-5 Phosphor Bronze 5-String Acoustic Bass Strings, Long Scale, 45-130 from Amazon. Tune them, and let the bass set for about an hour, and then tune again. Keep this up for at least 4 hours before considering adjusting the neck. My bass did not require neck adjustment after this, and had no buzzing. If you don’t want to do this yourself, most music stores will do it for you, but not for free. Secondly, this bass has a passive pick up and tone controls – no real preamp. This means the output is very low. Get a preamp to go with it. I bought a Behringer BDI21 Bass Amp Modeler Preamp DI Box (also from Amazon, for .99) and with it, this bass sounds awesome through an amp! If you are going to just play unplugged, you won’t need it. The satin finish on the bass is fantastic. The pictures do not do justice to the quality of the woodgrain that shows through. I used to have a Fender acoustic bass that cost three times what this bass costs, and it didn’t sound any better. You can’t go wrong with this instrument. Just remember, you need a few extras for the best experience. 0 |
