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.

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.

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.

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.

The vallue of this bass is great. ONly 300 dollars for this quality is unheard of naywhere else.

Dean is a great guitar/bass company to buy from. Very trustful.

The distinctive explorer shape screams out to audiences!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great support. Very easy to contact dean. www.deanguitars.com

This edgy shape and cool fretboard inlays (not to mention the ruby eyed skull knobs) make this base have such greet street appeal.

The sound of this bass is amazing. It has a very deep powerful sound perfect for heavy metal.

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.

It was farely easy to tweak to your likeings, you just have to know what sound you want.

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.

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.

If your a serious metal head or a devoted groupy then you would love to play or see your favorite bands use it.
