Sound: The sound of my dean metalman bass is amazing. This is a great bass to have. The sound and tone quality is way mroe than i ever expected. It is super affordable and one of the best basses you can get for under 5oo dolars. Feature: The skull knobs are very metal and wiht two volume and two tone, it is extremely easy to change your sound and pitch. I love all the hardware on this bass. Ease of Use: This bass is fairly easy to use, but beware, THE NECK IS VERY LONG! This base is pretty big so if your very small look at a different model. Quality: The sound quality of this bass is excellent. The sustain of any notes beats my fender stratocaster by a long shot. The sound quality of this bass makes it very worth buying. Value: The vallue of this bass is great. ONly 300 dollars for this quality is unheard of naywhere else. Manufacturer Support: Dean is a great guitar/bass company to buy from. Very trustful. The Wow Factor: The distinctive explorer shape screams out to audiences! Overall: This is by far my favorite bass i have ever played. You shuold seriously think about getting it.

Sound: The sound of this bass is amazing. It has a very deep powerful sound perfect for heavy metal. Feature: The bass looks great with the saw bladed neck, and the skull knobs. The 2 things I didnt like was that it didnt come with a strap wich pissed me off, and the pickups are powered by a 9v battery. Ease of Use: It was farely easy to tweak to your likeings, you just have to know what sound you want. Quality: This is one hell of a beast of a bass. Great for taking on the road. It can handle some abuse, and I dont expect this bass to break any time soon. Value: The value was spectacular. A Dean sold for $300. The brand Dime Bag Darrel himself used. So if your a fan of the Dime man, by a Dean. The Wow Factor: If your a serious metal head or a devoted groupy then you would love to play or see your favorite bands use it. Overall: I plan on useing this bass until it doesnt work anymore. It sounds great, its an amazing company, and it looks awesome. I would really recomend it if you wanna rock out and get those seriously freaky groupies :)

Sound: The sound quality of this bass is amazing. It has far exceeded my expectations. I have owned and played many and peavy epiphone basses ranging from 600-100 dollars and this is by far the best. The best part of this bass is sts sustain. The sustain of the open E string lasts longer than 3 times my fender strat and my gibson SG. Feature: This bass has two volume, and two control nobs, making it very easy to change your sound without needing any other effects. The ickups run on a 9volt battery, which gives them so much power that it is so easy to play beyond your band. Ease of Use: This base feels so good and comfortable, mostly because the action is at a perfect height. Playability is a 10, but i gave this a 9 because the odd shape makes it sometimes hard to move. Quality: The quality is amazing. An example: I tuned my base when i first got it (it was basically in tune already) and I have only had to tune it about 2 or 3 times in the last 6 months. Value: If i were the maker of this bass, i would sell it for at least $1000. That just shows the value you get on this bass. Manufacturer Support: Great support. Very easy to contact dean. www.deanguitars.com The Wow Factor: This edgy shape and cool fretboard inlays (not to mention the ruby eyed skull knobs) make this base have such greet street appeal. Overall: I would recommend this bass to anyone, from beginner to pro musician. Great for any bassist.
