All user reviews for the Dean Guitars Edge 1

I got this bass at massimino music for about $150.00.

It has an awesome sound, a lot better than me or any of my friends expected. The long scale is nice and the neck remains in perfect condition.

The thing I like least about it is the output jack, because I'm not sure if its me, but it has tended to let the wires get disconected and I would have to get them re-soldered, but other than that I love it.

The construction on this bass is very nice and there has been nothing wrong with the body, except for some minor dents and scratches.

This is an awesome bass if you are starting out, or even as a second bass. It is deffinatley worth your money to buy this bass

I got this baas at the Haight Street Music Center in San Francisco, California. The cost was $169.95 but the clerk was nice and knocked it down to $160.90

The things that i like about this bass is that it looks great,plays great, gives you execellent control, and all the features are chroms(well everything that should be is), its extremely easy to hit high notes.

I have a few friends who play bass and they said the bass is quite heavy, i don't think so too much since i am very strong but my shoulder got a little sore after 6+ hours of play.It's not the best bass if you are a punk bassist since its hard to pick fast.

its very good quality and has a very good build i've only had the bass for a week so i don't how well it will last but it's a very good buy since the sound and quality are fit for a much more expensive bass.

an extremely bass, good for anyone execpt extremely hard punk bassist otherwise a must get for all bassist.

I bought it out of the Musician's Friend catalogue for about two or three hundred dollars.

It sounds great.. if you have the right amp. I purchased a small beginners amp when I bought it, so I thought the sound was somewhat limited. Once I got a higher end amp, it blew me away. It's VERY solid & durable. It's fallen over so many times, bumped into so much stuff, and been abused more than a guitar should be, but it's still as good as the day I bought it.

It's a little heavy. Every once in a while my straps like to come right off it.. Sometimes when I put new strings on they buzz sort of. It doesn't take too long to get rid of that..

Like I said, it has taken much abuse, so you can take my word for it. It's got solid construction.

A great bass for just about anyone. Be it your first or you 5th (or whatever).

I bought this baby from an on-line dealer, and paid £190. "What?, £190?" you say?, yes £190 (www.singingchicken.co.uk)

I have to be honest and say everything about this instrument is fantastic. It sounds awesome- the soapbar pickups have a perfect sensitivity. and many control options are open to the musician. Combined with a good amp, this instrument will rip apart even top-mid range basses- i seriously think the manufacturer got the price wrong here!

In all honesty, this bass has no problems. However, (and as stated in other reviews), it is quite heavy- a trademark for many basses however. Oh yea, just in case this is your first instrument- get it set up at a good musical instrument retailer.

It is constructed of a basswood body, maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The neck is fantastically smooth. Just looking at the guitar will probabily make you fall over and cry, my particular instrument possesses a amberburst finish- the quality is amazing. I took the time to take the instrument apart and inspect the electronics- the components are of high quality and they havent EVER failed on me.

Er, if you are looking into starting bass, this is the ultimate instrument- it is soft on the wallet and hard on sound. (Sounds a bit dirty but hey!). If you own a squire and want an upgrade, get this too. I combine my instrument with a Behringer BX600 amp- with DR lowrider strings (med-lite gauge). I think this is the best setup for me in terms of sound, but thats down to your preference!

i bought this at the music acedemy in billericay for £250.

This bass is the bloody tits. Fuck fenders and ibanez get these. I have played peaveys ,ibanezes and a range of classic fenders but none of them play like this. Here is why i love this bass
1=most importantly it sounds good and you have control over the pickups.
2= it looks gorgeous
3=it has abalone dot inlays.
4=it has a two octave neck (24 frets)
5=it has a very smooth and low radius neck for ease when laying high notes.
6=loads of chrome hardware.
7= price is excellent

ok here are one or two things. IT is quite heavy! after a while it does get at your shoulder. and if you like fast picking styles like punk styles then it can be hard to play because of the design of the neck. Thas it!

The qaulity and build construction are great. I have only had it a while so i dont know how good the lastability is but the finish and overall sound and quality are so out of its pricing range.

GET THIS BASS NOW! its better then any other i have played . if you ignore me then its your loss.

I bought my guitar at Record Heaven in Griffin Georgia and I have to say that Record Heaven is THE best place to buy your music needs. They are sooooo cheap! Most of there products are lower than Musician's Friend! They can special order products at no extra cost! I'm telling you taht this is the musician's friend!

EVERYTHING! There is only one thing I don't like about it. It's big ,but it might be just because I'm a small guy. The covered soapbar humbucking pickups blend verywell with the solid basswood body. Mine looks soooo sweet! It's solid black with a chrome bridge, chrome butterfly tuners, and chrome dome knobs. This is one hot item! The neck and finger board feel sooooo smooth and round. It's almost like it was your favorite pair of jeans. It feels really good in my hands. I also like the fact that it has a five year warrenty. The tone is so round and mellow but it can be punchy and agressive when you want it to. I would never ever get rid of it.

It's really big! It is about the same size as a Squier Showmaster. This big boy has a hefty 24 frets plus a rather large body ,but yet again it might just be because I'm a small person.

I all ready did Dean Edge 1 is the best mid-ranged bass I have ever played. Its only $325.00! In perspective it's not really that much. This baby is practically indestructible! I've banged it up against door frames and brick fireplaces and all it did was make a very tiny tiny dent or sometimes nothing at all!

This bass it's soo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't buy this and you buy some POS Johnson or Ibanez I will find you and torture you to the point of siling your britches! Have a nice day!

Low probably made in china

Bolt

24 frets, two humbuckers Dean-type "block".

3 button settings (Bass, Treeble, Volume) on the other hand attention, for I know not why, the knobs change places ^ ^. I've never tried to change the electronics so I'm too lazy but this on my bass that is not very handicap but surprised me at first.

UTILIZATION

I find the handle quite pleasant, it is very thin and has a lovely natural wood color, but the key is mahogany.

Not much to say about ergonomics, cutting the bass is not very special, just effective.

I find easy access to acute, even if something bothers me but I do not know what it is.

SOUNDS

The sound of this bass has no grain: Advantage or disadvantage to you to see, personally, I do not think this is a handicap for the bass.

To have a well balanced, it takes a little fiddling with knobs and when they found what they wanted: not to be changed because otherwise it tends to quickly s'extremiser.

I have 2 amps, a Laney 30W with which I began: The record is not bad but the sound is not very homogeneous and we can too easily make the distinction between the bass and treble.
A randall, 4 * 10 ", 220 W gives much better sound over a much greater presence even if it means a low low end.

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for 2 years, I bought on a whim in Florida, and it is this that I started on bass. I'm not really disappointed, I look at rendered a bit "underground" because it is very suitable for the punk music genre or a pure tone is not very important.

I tried a bunch of basses and I must say that for this price (140 € new) I am satisfied with my purchase because I still feel like having a real instrument in hand and not a vulgar copy Jazz bass with a pseudo mark.

So if you hesitate to buy one, it is worth its price anyway.

-In which country was it made?
Very good question, I think in China

-What type of bridge?
No idea ...

What type of sleeve?
Bolt.

-How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?
24 frets, micro dean.

-What are the settings?
There are 3 "controllers" but I never understood what they were.

UTILIZATION

-Handle is it nice?
The neck is very long, and is therefore not handle the sudden a very enjoyable (namely that I play upright and asser below). It is much nicer to play seated.

-Access to Acute easy is it?
Access to acute is not easy, I find that the sound sounds a little "plastic" compared to other bass I've tried (which is not due to the amp because I have a amp Eagletone but I play regularly on a Fender 150 watt and makes his "same").

SOUNDS

-Are they suitable for your style of music?
No, not really. Personally I'm waiting for a big fat bass sound fat. And I do not get much with this cell.

"With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I buy a small Eagleton, but I play regularly on a Fender 150 watt Bass and March (sorry I can not write it). The sound that makes her the Fender and Eagleton is not great, but drinking on March Bass.

OVERALL OPINION

-For how long have you been using it?
I use it for about a year.

-Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, but I've tried a lot after purchase, as Gibson SG; Standberg (Whaa!) Fender Precision ...

"What thing do you like most/least about it?
Like its légeretée (compared to my Les Paul Standard guitar ...), I do not like the sounds.

-What is your opinion about the value for the price?
I paid 60 euros-hand last year because I started on bass (although I play the guitar for 7 years). It's a good bass to start but no further.
I do not buy it back, I'm going to sell it because I buy an Epiphone Ripper. Good bass
