Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Here's a versatile five-string, acoustic-electric bass from Dean. It's perfect for a beginner looking to enjoy some acoustic, living-room jams, but still features a Dean preamp for plugging into your favorite bass amp or recording gear. The EAB C5 features a spruce top, mahogany body, rosewood bridge and fretboard, pearl dot inlays, and legendary Dean construction and playability, at an affordable price. The cutaway provides access to the higher register, and the low B string provides a little more on the other end.

EAB C5 Bass Specs Top: Select Spruce Body: Mahogany Scale: 34" Neck: Mahogany Fingerboard: Rosewood Inlays: Pearl Dot Tuners: Die Cast Binding/Rosette: Celluloid Bridge: Rosewood Electronics: Dean / Passive Preamp Finish: Satin Natural

Built-in Dean passive preamp with Tone and Volume controls

Celluloid rosette and binding complete the look.

Mahogany Body With Spruce Top
The Mahogany/Spruce combo is a pretty common choice in acoustic tonewoods, whether for basses or guitars. Mahogany boasts a wide dynamic range, perfect for ampifying your nuance and still sounding good when you lay into it.

The spruce accentuates the bass and treble end of things. It also just looks great, with the deep brown mahogany contrasting the satin-finish spruce.

34-Inch Mahogany Neck
The EAB C5 features a mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and classic pearl dot inlays. It boasts a rosewood bridge to match, with a contemporary "sliver" shape that's all Dean.

Celluloid Binding and Rosette
Speaking of looks, the EAB C5 has plenty, enhanced by the celluloid rosette and body binding.

Dean Tuners
Dean diecast tuners complete the hardware ensemble, ensuring you stay in tune even when you're plugged in and rocking out.

Dean Passive Preamp
The EAB C5 sounds great on its own, but sometimes you want to turn things up a bit (or plug into an audio interface for recording, perhaps).

The onboard Dean preamp offers basic volume and tone controls to dial in just the sound you need.

I've never ordered an instrument online before so I was a bit nervous that it would be junk. I was happy to get it and find that it is a pretty nice guitar. The EQ isn't much but I not too worried about that anyway 'cause I got it to play acousticly. It has a really nice sound and I can't believe how loud it is even with the b string. Good Bass and is worth the money. I'm Happy with it.

This bass is great. I had a bit of trouble at first with the neck, and turning the truss rod didn't fix it. I called Dean and told them this and they said I should probably return it. I put in a return request with Amazon and by morning, the dysfunctional bass was gone and it's replacement was in the mail. Exceptionally fast service. I received the new bass a few days later, and it is spectacular. I have played an electric bass for 4 years, but I needed something unplugged to jam around camp fires. This instrument is perfect for that. It is beautiful, has a deep booming sound and it works very well plugged in as well. Overall a great buy, especially for the money.

Absolutely horrible. Buzzes terribly on every fret of every string. It's a beautiful guitar but the sound is awful. Definitely want my money back. Don't waste your time
