Fender Mike Dirnt Precision Electric Bass (Rosewood, with Gig Bag) Reviews
9 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Serious Bass"
Quality:
The construction and finish is excellent. It came out-of-the-box ready to play. No adjustments were needed.
Value:
I wih it was cheaper...but ya "get what you pay for."
Desirability:
The Mike Dirnt gets everyone's attention. My muscian friends appreciate the look and sound. Others just like the look. I got the Sunburst.
Sound:
This bass "cooks!!" I love the 51 pickup which provides excellent tone to rock and r&b music selection. Quality instrument cables are a must to aviod some buzz from the pickup. I enjoy my Ibanez active bass however, the construction and sound of this bass seperates from the others. Playing through my 2x10 SWR with a 115 ampeg extension lays out a strong clear sound. Make sure you get the 3.5 guitar strap for the extra weight.
Ease of Use:
You will need to use the eq on your amp to change tones. This is expected with a passive bass.
Support:
No need to contact Fender to this point.
Overall:
I extremely satisfied! I have a vintage Univox fretless, active Ibanez and the Dirnt. Adding the Dirnt to my collection has me set. I would get another if anything happens to this one.
