Dom in Dorset Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've tried two, I'm not sure what models. One had two humbuckers (passive) and a slab like body, not much contouring , priced at about £180- gorgeous! as you said nice neck great big punchy sound. The other was a more fancy beast, P/J pick up combo, active (nice new battery) , contoured body, price £300? - I hated it, every tone from wooley to weedy via flaccid! Nice neck.

dudewheresmybass Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 generally speaking i enjoy my deans trememndously. the necks are usually very comfortable, and the passive pick ups sound great i have two active instruments that get a lot of use, and three passive basses. All in all though i think Dean are really great value for money, with some great styling, and altogether very versatile. Don't let some of the funny shapes put you off!!!
