I expect to play this thing until it flat out gives out! And with the lifetime warranty from Dean that could be quite a long time!!

Sound
I love the sound of this bass. By adjusting the tone and pick-ups you can go from crunchy & punch deep bass sounds to a very clean tone with sort of a "Rickenbacker" sound. I have found the sound to be very flexible and easily adjustable.

Features
The skullcrusher graphic is just beautiful. I have received many compliments on this bass by appearance alone.

Ease of Use
Very easy to play. The low action and thin neck design make playing this bass very easy and enjoyable. The neck is not quite as thin as say an Ibanez Soundgear, but I would put it right up there with the Fender Jazz as far as having a thin, fast neck. I went from an ESP to this bass and the neck is visibly thinner and something you can feel when you wrap your hands around the neck. For someone like me with smaller hands this makes all the difference in the world in an instrument.

Quality
The ONLY reason this did not get a 10 is when I got the bass in the volume & tone knobs were very loose. I took the bass to a local music shop and had them tightened for about $10 and now it plays perfectly. Other than this minor flaw I would rate this bass a 10 in quality all day long!

Value
Wow...value is amazing. I was not expecting read more an inexpensive bass to sound so good! I would play this onstage (and will in the next couple of weeks) beside any more expensive bass on the market. I have played basses that cost 2-3 times what this little gem costs and couldn't tell you the any difference besides the price!

Manufacturer Support
No question here. I ordered from ZZounds and had the bass in about 3-4 days after placing my order. After finding the loose knobs listed above and taking the bass to the music store to have the knobs tightened, I contacted Zzounds to explain the problem and they have credited the $10 back to my account. I have only good things to say here as this is how customer service should be!!

The Wow Factor
Gotta love the graphic. I also love the Catacombs but thought the Skullcrusher just "stood out" a little bit more.
