Dean Review: edge 4

History:

Purchase: I purchase this bass at mother's music in edmonton. For around $425.00. I tried the basses they had. I was wanting a 5 string but the for string had better attack than the Five. The sound from it was more powerful, since it had actice puckups.

What I Like About This Dean edge 4: The neck is comfortable and has good sound out of it as well. I have a digitech effect pedal and it plays well with it, so much so that I have to watch the noise since I live in a basement. I wich I could turn up my peavy amp to see what this baby can do under liver circumstances. The bass is well balanced and and light but I never complain about wieght you get used to it. I Play song from system of a down, Rage against the machine, audio slave, and other heavy metal bands and it hold it's own rather well.

What I Do NOT Like About The Dean edge 4: I don't like having too many controls on my bass It has four I prefer three at most less a hassle. The other thing I can say I don't like about it, is that I prefer I bass with allot more attack when I play it. I slap and pop it pretty hard. But if that is the case I should go for a five string, but I'm not really complaining about it.

Dean edge 4 Quality Rating: The quality is good the body is made of Basswood which gives a warm tone. and makes it light. I prefere wenge and maple body to give it more of an attack. But the electronics are rather good and the and so is the wood too.

Review Summary: all in all, it is a good bass. I don't think I would buy anything else if I was starting out. I figure I will go after a higher quality one when I get better though. But this is a good bass that can hold it's own rather well. Beleive me I tried every kind of bass from an Ibenaz to yamaha this one works well for a starter to intermediate. I can't say the complains I made is the fault of the manufacturer it is only my personal preferance but there are others that will think I rather nuts to be takling this bass down. Others will be saying it sucks. But I said my two cents

Rating of this Dean product: 4
