Rating: - Good Value for The Money
I've wanted an acoustic bass guitar for years but don't play it enough to justify the prices I've seen. I couldn't resist the Dean at under [...] and I wasn't disappointed. This instrument feels quite light for its size yet the neck feels very solid with a large round shape to it. I never expect an instrument to be playable out of the box and, sure enough, I had to loosen up the truss rod (with the included Allen wrench).

I'm not sure if the strings it came with were Rotosound or ordinary ... Read More

Rating: - For the money, you cannot go wrong with this.
I have the 5 string model and have played the 4s at stores. I'm very impressed with this instrument for the price! The quality is excellent, the bass itself plays well - my only issue is while the action sits quite low and the instrument is very playable, the string noise with the roundwounds is annoying. I believe I will try some flats or coated strings, because I wouldn't want the action higher on the bass. I haven't had much chance to plug it in, but that is because my huge Ampeg cab is at the rehearsal ... Read More

Rating: - Great playing instrument
Each time I pick up this bass I'm impressed with how fine an instrument it is for the price. My entire technique is improving as I have to rise to meet the clarity of sound my Playmate provides. The craft of its manufacture is high, the tone is clear and volume good, and the price is spectacular. My first worry was that this would be a dumbed down, inferior version of the Dean Performer EAB. That fear didn't materialize. The same Dean attention to quality has gone into this instrument as into the higher ... Read More

Rating: - Fantastic Bass with a GREAT Price!
I don't usually write these little review things on websites, but I am extremely pleased with this purchase. I bought this bass solely for the purpose of quiet practicing/jamming in my apartment, where an amplified electric bass would not be welcomed with open arms. If you're considering it for this purpose you'll be completely satisfied. For the cash spent, it doesn't get much better than this. This is a sturdy instrument that you won't have to worry about being too 'careful' with. I've found myself hauling ... Read More

Rating: - Be discerning...
When I saw this in a catalogue it seemed like a deal I couldn't pass up. Electric and acoustic AND a bass. I mean, what would an ACOUSTIC bass sound like? I, of course, knew they were out there but the base cost seems to be around $350, so I bought this one. Why, even one almost exactly similar with just a sidecut in it for easier reaching of the high frets is like $60 more. So, I tried this out. Right out of the box there were a lot of little rattlings inside the guitar. I had to fish out chips of glue that ... Read More
