fairly good sound the bass amp could pack more punch but its good for beginners deffinatley suprised me

came with a bunch of stuff gig bag, strap, some picks the best thing would be the bass amp and the picks gig back is fragile same with everything else

very easy to use seeing as how its for beginners but it keeps you entertained

very good as far as quality basically indestrucible ive dropped it alot and you just pick it back up and still looks brand new

really good price i got it for 200 and i thought that was good

wouldnt know didnt need any support with it but i would expect the people at Dean to be helpful and know what they are talking about.

i got this in metallic red it deffinatley catchs your eye. i think its gorgeous

I am just a beginner but to me the thing sounds great. I ordered a Digitech Bass Effects Pedal to run with my Peavey amp. The bass just sounds great on it's own to, but I really did damage to my fingers with as much as I was playing around with that effects pedal. The amp that comes with the bass is a great practice amp. Sounds pretty decent. I am replacing the strings with some Ernie Balls. I am giving it a '10' because again, I am a beginner. I think I will be able to judge better when I get some experience and exposure under me.

I am giving it a 9 because the gig bag kind of sucks and it didn't come with lessons. This thing is beautiful but that gig bag could not be depended on to protect it very well. Will get something a bit more protective when I start moving it around more. I also ordered some bass lessons to get a head start on the lessons I am enrolled in at the University in the town where I live.

On it's own the thing sounds good to me. The Progressive knob creates a dirtier tone. There is a definite learning curve because it didn't come with lessons. If it's going to advertise itself as a beginners set, it should come with some intro lessons at least. However, it is a really good deal at the pricepoint it is set at and you can get really good lessons separate with the money you save (which is what I did)
