Members mr sprocket Posted December 9, 2012 Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 So I need some money for the holidays. I have three Dean basses for sale. 1. Dean Fretless Here is a bass that needs a little work, a five sting fretless Dean bass. I won this one on ebay thinking I would start playing fretless. The neck is in good shape. It plays similar to my Ibanez SR basses, pretty narrow. The previous owner added EMG pickups and tone controls which sound pretty good. It has a transparent gray wood grain finish. Now for the issues. The bass came with the some of the oldest strings I have seen on a bass. I might have a set of D'Addario XL to go with it. The bridge is bent at the bottom lifting up from the body. It does not to appear to be pulling or coming off but this does effect the action some. With a new bridge I think the action could get really low. There is also a nice Fender hardshell case that comes with the bass. New price is $150 plus shipping [ATTACH]350465[/ATTACH] Links to more pictures.http://imageshack.us/g/191/dscf2947l.jpg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr sprocket Posted December 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 2. Dean Stylist I hate to sell this one. This is a fun bass to play. It is had Chrome flats on it and plays pretty well. This is nice and thumpy. It comes with a Dean Gig bag. Now for the issues. It has a finish blemish at the neck joint. No structural issue. I have had this one for four years with no issue. I have it set up the action a little high right now. New price is $325 plus shipping Links to more pictures.http://imageshack.us/g/32/dscf2912x.jpg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr sprocket Posted December 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2012 Here is a five string Dean Pace bass. There version of an electric upright. I get stopped any time I take this bass out to play. You can get a nice pizzicato sound. You can slap it and get a great rockabilly sound as well. Comes with the stand and original case. All are in good order. Also have a five string set of chromes to go with it. Now for the modifications. Originally these basses were passive with only a volume control. I added a basic two band acoustic preamp from artec to buffer the pickup better. Controls are on the back and do not get in the way. I used the battery cavity that Dean left in the basses when the wear designed for active.
