This acoustic-electric bass guitar was a gift for my son. He tested some others and in his opinion the Dean had the best sound. He wanted to use it in the evenings and didn't want to have to use his electric bass when the kids were asleep. This guitar is just what he wanted and he is very happy with it.

Enjoying the bass very much. changed to flat string because they were recommended by a couple of other reviewers. much less string buzz on the frets now. Wish it had second peg for strap. May have to drill a hole in it for one. Nice sound. Will be a good portable for those evenings around the campfire.

I'm a guitar player, not a bass player. I bought this for around the house use, so I could accompany my wife while she plays guitar and sings. The bass buzzes a little bit when I don't press down really hard on the strings, especially on the first three frets or so. Apparently, getting flat strings will fix this problem. But as it isn't really a big deal for my purposes, I'll wait until the standard strings get worn out before replacing them. The tone sounds very good to me, though I confess to not having a comparison sound in mind as I've never played or heard an acoustic bass before. My wife complains that she has a hard time hearing my playing while she is singing and playing guitar, though from my perspective--the person playing the bass--it is plenty loud. Hopefully I will get louder as my string-plucking fingers get stronger and more calloused. If not, then I'll either have to plug the thing into something (which I don't want to do), or start using a pick (which also doesn't appeal to me).

All in all, with the price point in mind and my limited expectations, I'm very happy with this purchase. I would order it again today without hesitation, knowing what I know now.

UPDATE: After playing it for a week or so, I noticed that the A string, 9th fret, doesn't play so well. It looks like the string rubs the 10 fret. I might decide eventually to tweak the action a bit or, again, perhaps switching to flat-wound strings will improve it. This is a minor problem from my perspective, and so doesn't change my overall rating or cause buyer's remorse.
