Product Description

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 and string models. Experience one of the worlds fines basses - the Dean Edge! E09 M is the most affordable in the Edge Line! ~Mahogany Top ~Basswood Body ~Maple Neck ~34" scale ~Rosewood Fingerboard ~Abalone Dot Inlays ~Die Cast Tuners ~Black Hardware ~Vintage Bridge ~1 Dean Pickups ~Satin Natural, Metallic Red

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner instrument, October 5, 2007

By	Jeremy York "-beanish-" (Bothell, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been learning to play bass with this model for about a year and a half, and I enjoy it thoroughly. It's lighter than some instruments, but still has enough mass that it has a good tone. The neck is maybe not as slender as some fancier, faster basses, but it's still quite comfortable. It stays in tune well, and I've never had any troubles with the knobs or electronics.

With only a single pickup, and just knobs for volume and treble, you don't have much flexibility in sound. If you're just learning or playing for fun, this isn't much of an issue. The bass sounds great for a variety of jazz, blues and rock. One person I play with thinks the tone from this bass is nicer than one of his that cost about eight times as much.

A couple of other thoughts... You'll want to find a local guitar store to help you make adjustments periodically (and perhaps with initial setup), or learn to do it yourself. I use a Behringer practice amp, and it's partially responsible for the good tone that I seem to get. Finally, I rarely use a pick - if that's more your style, the lack of a pick guard might be an issue for you.

The bass guitar was for my son. We were all very pleased with the timely delivery of our product and the product itself is quality. Thanks so much.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK beginner and Dean is great, but..., December 18, 2007

By	BASS DAD "the progenitor" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

Why not step up to Dean Edge 10a with active electronics?! You will get two pick-ups and way more tone options for $149!!! The 09 is ok for a throw in the trunk type bass but for a few bucks more you can get so much more. BTW, my son has a black 09 and a black 10a so we have played/heard both side by side. To put it in perspective we bought a beater 09 of CL for $25 and are in the process of defretting it as a first time experiment. The 09 is a great candidate for something like that where a mistake won't hurt too bad. You should be able to pick up a black 09 for around $100 new. Maybe the natural look is worth the extra to you.
