Purchase: I bought this Bass at Avenue Guitars in Edmonton for about $300Cdn. in the Winter of 2001 when i was looking for a good beginner bass
Pros: The things i like about this unit are the Asthetics(looks) of this unit, The durability and i also liked the price. I think that this is a good bass for a begginer and the sound is amazing exceptionally good for $300 dollars especially after the 12 fret.
Cons: I didnt like some of the buzzing you got from the frets and the way the tuner nobs on the head of the guitar were so small. But the thing i hated about this bass the most was you couldnt move any one string up or down you had to move all the strings up or down because of the one big bridge on all Dano's.
Quality: I think the construction is average and good for a begginer but i think that this bass cant do to much for an advent player.
Summary: I recommend this bass to any begginer who is looking for a bass under $300 dollars

Purchase: I bought this bass from shreveaudio.com for $198 which is the cheapest I have seen it anywhere.
Pros: The light weight of the bass is killer. I believe it is either 6 or 8 pounds. Also the look of the device is nice, beautiful finish and cool pickguard. I love the bridge despite the difficulty of intonation. But the best thing about the bass has to be the rich tone. with both pickups on full it cant be beat
Cons: First of all the white tape around the outside edge started coming off almost right from the start. I just removed it myself and cleared off the sticky crap with some lighter fuel. Also the strap buttons come out easy. I placed a fender type sb near the neck and super glued the bridge end one in there good. The tuning pegs arent that great but I can't imagine full size tuners on this thing
Quality: good quality and finish. nothing to complain about there. nice fret work and smooth neck. those knobs are kinda cool too
Summary: Before this bass I had a mexican fender. That fender didnt even compare. do yourself a vavor and get a dc today
