Product Description

An Exception To The Rule- It is often said the "beauty is skin deep". The Dean Edge Bass is clearly the exception to the rule! While beauty was the inspiration of the Dean Edge, we put every bit of our 20 plus years of design experience into these models. We started with a body styled and contoured for comfort and the choice basswood to make them lighter. The maple necks were profiled to be faster and sleeker than virtually all other. We designed a "uniquely Dean" custom neck joint and heel along with our asymmetrical 4 bolt pattern creating uninterrupted access all the way up the two octave neck. The Edge Bass is offered in four, five,six and eight string models. Experience one of the worlds fines basses - the Dean Edge!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Instrument, Hard to Play, Impossible to Maintain, October 30, 2006

This review is from: Dean Edge 6 String Bass Trans Amberburst (Electronics)

I love my Dean Edge 6. But I can't play it. And I can't get strings for it.

It's a beautiful instrument. The fit and finish is quite good for the price. It sounds great.

An accomplished bassist recommended that I get a six string. That was a HUGE mistake. This bass is a monster, and is no good for learning to play.

The biggest problem, however, is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get strings for this thing. All of the "Extra Long Scale" strings that I have tried begin to taper just shy of the nut. I contacted Dean and they told me that they string the bass with bulk D'Addario strings and that they couldn't recommend any set that I could buy. They suggested that I visit the nearest dealer . . . 600 miles away.

So, the instrument is terrific, Dean's customer service is WORTHLESS.
