Dean Rhapsody Q5 Reviews  5 / 5 based on 1 reviewsI purchased this at L&M Music in Chattanooga, TN. I had heard alot of people bragging about the new stuff Dean was putting out. I ask the sales associate about what he thought about the new Dean Basses. He said for the price, you can't beat the quality. I played the Edge 5 string and the Rhapsody 5 string. After much deliberation I decided on the Rhapsody. The sales associate said that their bas tech has a $1500 bass and he has a Dean as a second bass. I can understand why.
Pretty much everything. The body has curves like a beautiful woman. The sound is wonderful. The tone is perfect. And it is a powerful slap bass.
If I could change anything on this bass it would be the pickups and the Bridge. It comes with EMG-HZ pickups which are passive. I would put a set of Bartolini active pickups in it. And I would change the bridge to a four way bridge Other than that the bass is Gravy.
Construction is top notch. The neck is perfect. Body is solid. And like I said before It has curves like a beautiful woman.
Fantastic bass. If you want a good playing bass, whithout speding alot of cash this bass is superb. In fact I'm pondering on buying another Dean fretless later on in the year. TimotheusKeithus rated this unit  on 2004-03-10.
