Great Instruments At Great Prices

Dean Dime Razorback V

Dean beginner bass guitars are an awesome choice for the beginning bass guitarist. With super Metal attitude, high quality, great sound and playability, Dean Bass Guitars have been a favorite of professional Metal bass guitarists since the late 1970s. Dean's offerings span the range from conservative designs all the way to designs that scream HEAVY METAL! Dean has something for everyone.

The list of Dean players over the years reads like a Who's Who of Rock, including legends such as Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, Dimebag Darrell, Dave Mustaine, Leslie West, Michael Angelo Batio and many others. If Dean electric guitars are good enough for the legends, they're definitely good enough for the rest of us. Since this page is meant to provide examples of Dean bass guitars that are appropriate for beginners, I'm limiting the bass guitars I list here to models that can be purchased for around $400 or less(some may run a little higher than this).

If you've read my Advice For Beginning Guitarists page you know that I don't recommend spending a great deal of money on equipment until your playing has developed to the point that it makes sense to buy professional level equipment. The Dean beginner bass guitars I'm presenting will give you high quality and performance without breaking the bank. When you're ready, Dean has the professional models you will need.
