Dean Edge E09L Left-Handed Electric Bass

Take up this left-handed bass and enter a world of rich tone. The Edge bass' soap bar pickup creates a fat and round tone that's great for any style.

"Great first purchase piece."

I will probably be searching for better sound quality before stepping out in public. I have had my Dean for 3 weeks now and already I can tell that this is a beginner/practice piece. And I'm a beginner.:) Sometimes feel the sound is a little flat.
Sound
Sound isn't too bad. This is my first, but it seems to be O.K.
Features
A little on the simple side. Color could be more exciting. Strings could be a little better. Craftsmanship for the price is O.K.
Quality
One cosmetic blemish with mine when arrived. Probably due to shipping. Perhaps if the box was labeled "FRAGILE" when shipped, they might not toss it around the way they do.
Value
For the price this is a great little starter. I was between the Rogue and this one.
The Wow Factor
Again the color scheme could be a little more creative.

"The Good, The Bad, The almost a real instrument."

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars

I am currently redoing this bass. I have added a 1962 fender jazz pickup, converted it to a fret less and am redoing the paint. All in all, if it wasn't for the playability of the neck I would have already roasted marshmallows over this thing.
Sound
The only thing that feels good on this bass is the neck. I had to remove both the volume and the tone knobs because of poor connections. This bass became a junker and something that's sitting in my garage in pieces. If you get this bass its a good starter but don't expect it to play like anything remotely decent.
Features
Soap bar pick ups were junk and I'm waiting on new pickups to give it the thump needed.
Ease of Use
So this bass is pretty much junk except the neck. If you play anything from the very basic to the very extreme the neck feels smooth as butter. That's the only thing I love about this bass.
Quality
It came with blemishes and was poorly constructed. This bass is the back up to my back up bass. I just don't trust it.
Value
Its a good starter bass. Keep in mind I would have much rather saved up a touch more and bought a squier to start on instead of a dean.
Manufacturer Support
Never worked with em so why not give em a 10?
The Wow Factor
Its a bland black guitar. You play metal you most likely have a black instrument lying around, not to generalize to much. But this is the bass I'd see most metal players on. To me its boring, it needs some color.
