Product Description
An Exception To The Rule- It is often said the “beauty is skin deep”. The Dean Edge Bass is clearly the exception to the rule!

  1. I love my Dean Edge 6. But I can’t play it. And I can’t get strings for it.

    It’s a beautiful instrument. The fit and finish is quite good for the price. It sounds great.

    An accomplished bassist recommended that I get a six string. That was a HUGE mistake. This bass is a monster, and is no good for learning to play.

    The biggest problem, however, is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get strings for this thing. All of the “Extra Long Scale” strings that I have tried begin to taper just shy of the nut. I contacted Dean and they told me that they string the bass with bulk D’Addario strings and that they couldn’t recommend any set that I could buy. They suggested that I visit the nearest dealer . . . 600 miles away.

    So, the instrument is terrific, Dean’s customer service is WORTHLESS.
