Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This no-frills bass from Dean features a lightweight basswood body, a Dean vintage bridge, a single Dean soapbar pickup, and a speedy maple neck. It's an affordable axe that's ready for any modern style.

EDGE 09 Specs Body: Basswood Scale: 34" Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Inlays: Abalone Dot Tuners: Die Cast Hardware: Chrome Bridge: Dean Vintage Pickup: One Dean Passive Finish: Classic Black

Dean passive soapbar pickup with volume and tone controls.

A vintage-style bridge provides precise intonation.

Dean's Edge Series
Sure, beauty is skin deep, but the Dean Edge Bass might be the exception. Dean started with a body styled and contoured for comfort, and made it lighter with basswood construction. The maple necks were profiled to be faster and sleeker than most, and Dean designed a custom neck joint and heel, for uninterrupted access all the way up the two octave neck. The Edge Bass is offered in four, five and six string models. The Edge 09 is the most affordable instrument in the Edge Line.

Mahogany Looks
The Edge 09 features basswood construction, but it's topped off with naturally finished mahogany. The basswood means this axe is lighter than most its size, and the eye-catching mahogany grains give it plenty of class.

34-Inch Maple Neck
The Edge 09 features a speedy maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and classic abalone dot inlays. It's a 22-fret model--this barely matters on some instruments, since access to the high frets is difficult, but a deep cutaway and Dean's custom joint/heel mean you can ring out the high notes when you want.

Dean Passive Pickup
The Edge 09 features a Dean "soapbar" style passive pickup, for smooth low-end, aggressive high-end, and plenty of response to your playing and the tone control. Dial it in no matter your musical style.

Chrome Dean Hardware
The vintage-style Dean bridge lets you set things up perfectly on the intonation front, and Dean diecast tuners ensure that you'll stay in tune.

I bought this bass a few months ago. It was so beautiful coming out of the box and seemed to play great. I only have one problem which I have no idea how this could happen. I went to tune it to standard (EADG). All was right except the A string which I can't get past a C sharp. I suppose this could be fixed with string replacement, but I have not yet done so because I don't have extra money to go get strings. Otherwise this is a great bass for the price and makes for an amazing practice bass or one for a beginner. Or perhaps one for people who can't afford an amazing bass. *points to self*

This review is from: Dean Edge 09 Bass, Classic Black (Electronics)

ive had this bass for 6 months and its awesome. it works great and i havent had to replace any of the strings. It doesnt go out of tune alot but i do reccomend getting a tuner so you can tune it when it does go out of tune. This is a great bass for beginners and i recommend getting it.

It's a nice bass for less money, the sound is good.
But I got 2 problems.

1. Volume regulator is out of control - it makes noise, sound disappears. Is Dean checking all guitars before selling them?

2. I registered my Dean online. Actually, I expected to get a new regulator as a replacement. I was wrong!
No replay from Dean. They just ignore my. Great service, gays!
All I need - just to know what type is it, I will get it by myself.
Shame on you, Dean!
