Dean Acoustic-Electric Bass Satin Finish

Dean Acoustic-Electric Bass Satin Finish Review

See more picture

I'm a novice guitar player looking to learn bass, since I don't know anyone who plays one. This instrument surpassed my expectations on sound, quality, and factory setup. From the factory, this bass has lower action than my Combo/Selmer acoustic guitar did (and that's not a bass). Intonation at fret 12 is almost perfect on the factory setup, which is a very pleasant surprise to me.

The only quirk I've found so far is a very slight buzz down by the bridge on low E struck hard. I bet the player is the only person who can hear it, though.

A pro might find some faults with it, but I believe it will do well at all the bass playing I expect to do, given my skill level.

Customer Reviews

quality - Joe Woodard - SC USA
this turned out to be a far better guitar than I had hoped it would be.

Fantastic Bass - Stuart Stein -
I have been playing bass off and on for almost 30 years now, but never tried an acoustic bass guitar. I thought that it was time. This bass lives up to all the positive reviews. Fun to play and well built. Pickup is a little weak, but I don't plan to plug it in anyway. I purchased a hard shell case from Musicians Friend and now I am set. Well worth the money.
