Rogue LX200B Series II Bass Guitar, Candy Apple Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, I'm in Iraq right now and so I decided to take a hobby up so I said why not bass guitar. I didn't want to get an expensive one in case it was messed up while over here, I looked around Amazon and found that Woodwind and Brasswood would ship to APO address. Being only $119 I decided it was a reasonable risk in getting this bass guitar. I placed my order several days before Easter, and that's where the trouble started (bare with me, I'll get to the guitar).

On the Saturday before Easter I get an e-mail from the company telling me it would be a month and a half before my product shipped. Personally, I feel that's a bit of a wait and e-mailed the company that day to try and cancel the order. I get an out of office response, which I'm cool with.. it was Easter weekend after all.

Monday rolls around and I get a response from Customer service, from the above mentioned company, stating that they would try and stop my order. After 4 e-mails from the company stating that they were trying to stop the order (guess they aren't allowed to have phones at the warehouse) I get an e-mail saying that the item was allready loaded on a truck and that the warehouse refused to take it off just because I no longer wanted it. (silly me, I thought me being the consumer I was supposed to be right) What I found very odd was once I wanted to cancel the order it was no longer going to take a month and a half.

The customer service e-mails me again and says that if I still don't want it I can return it and that they would send out shipping labels to me once I recieved the item (why not send them out with the product?). The stipulation was that if the box is damaged, then they start deducting from my $119 I paid. For those that don't know, packages arriving in Iraq don't usually have the pristine condition that is required for me to get my $119 back in full, much less arriving back in the states in such a condition when mailed from here. I had to e-mail them back and let them know it was not worth the risk, that they had stuck me good this time.

******* On To The Guitar **********

So I ordered the candy apple red varient, opened the "box" and it looked nice. Thought I was getting real lucky.. until...

It was filthy, I don't just mean dusty.. it had some gloopy garbage on the screws that was a mix between dried food and candle wax. It was all over the thing to be exact, but I mention the screws because it was like they purpously put the stuff in them. The fret board looked like it had just been removed from King Tut's tomb. The body had knicks, scratches, even a ding or two.

I spent a good two hours cleaning it up, and I still don't think I got all the goop garbage out of the screwheads.

However, for all that bad it tuned nicely and quickly. I've had no major issues with it at all. It does sound nice, and unless you know where to look you can't notice the scratches and dings.

I would have to say that if I could have gotten this bass from another company then it would have been a great experience.

However take the good with the bad.... I bought a decent beginner's bass for cheaper than most beginner bass guitars.

Not a bad product if you have someone that may or may not follow through with learning the bass. Defiently want to upgrade in time though.

Dean Edge 1 Bass, Classic Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We know that $200.00 buys hardly anything these days. But, we weren't prepared for a complete setup; including (gasp), filing down the frets. This being out of production for a few years- we were thinking that maybe we would be getting something from what was left over from the great Zelinski start-up before the quality went that far south.
From when we first got this thing, all the strings buzzed all the frets, except the low B string. It was the only one that would past the muster. It came with the bridge settings for the strings too high to begin with. After a few beers for liquid courage, we detached the neck from the body, and filed all the frets down with a flat bastard mill file with masking tape double stacked over the fingerboard to protect the rosewood. Profile being at +-5 degrees, it was not too hard to keep the slight arc across the fingerboard. Creating the roundness was harder as the file would have to be passed over with an angle. After several hours of this operation, we reassembled and tuned up the bass, and the results were much better. E string was the only one that had a couple of frets that would have to be worked with. The others were just fine. Tightening or loosening the trussrod made no difference with the slight inward bow the fingerboard had with the strings in tune.
The body has a lot of flaws- it looks as if they put the finish on over splintered wood. The electronics have sloppy soldering as well for the most part.
If you are a beginner, this would NOT be a very good choice as your chances of making anything come out clean would only frustrate you into giving up- or into thinking that others have more of a talent than you. But once again- it is not only the person where practice makes perfect. A good musical device would have to be had as well.
Sad to report this.

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! While beauty was the inspiration of the Dean Edge, we put every bit of our 20 plus years of design experience into these models. We started with a body styled and contoured for comfort and the choice basswood to make them lighter. The maple necks were profiled to be faster and sleeker than virtually all other. We designed a "uniquely Dean" custom neck joint and heel along with our asymmetrical 4 bolt pattern creating uninterrupted access all the way up the two octave neck. The Edge Bass is offered in four, five and string models.

Washburn Taurus Series T12NS Electric Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Plays very well, only complaints are in finish - obvious mismatched wood at foot of neck on front and back, needs finish on back of neck or wood needs to be polished smoother. Tone is good, tuning keys and electronics(passive) are good quality. Excellent value ($105.00), could sell for quite a bit more. Would rate quality and value similar but a little bit lower than low-end PRS guitars.

Washburn Taurus Series T12MBL Electric Bass Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Washburn Taurus T12 bass to lay down my own bass tracks for home recording, and it has far exceeded what I expected to get for $116. I could tell this was a deeply discounted, quality instrument right away. It's nicely balanced, solidly constructed yet light, has great string action, and sounds fantastic. I would have no problem gigging with this bass, and it looks great too.

There are two knobs, one for volume, the other for tone, and two pickups that respond very well, offering a range of sounds, from low and soft, to a sharp "bite", depending on how the strings are picked. Obviously, if you're a professional musician, you'll want something much more expensive and handcrafted, but for a musician on a budget, the T12 is several notches above other basses I've tried in the same price range.

Dean Edge 09 Bass, Classic Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this bass and it is built well. The neck felt good to my hand and I like the soapbar pickup. I play with a pick and the pickup is great for that. The only problem was that the neck was bowed and when I tried to have it straightened, I was told that the repair guy was worried about further damage. Some of the bow was removed, but it still was not perfect. It had a great sound with the Dean Markley "Misfits" strings. For a begginer bass it is not bad and I am sure that not all the necks are bad. Just a note : having a neck adjusted is not cheap an it can take time. I spent $65 and still it was not 100%

Dean Custom Zone Bass, Nuclear Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this bass on Musician's Friend and ordered it there originally; it had great reviews from an assortment of players and the nuclear green color looked amazing. I ended up canceling my order with MF because of just how popular this guitar is- They had to put a 30-day backorder notice on it.

I paid the extra to get Amazon to ship it sooner and it was well worth it! The green is even sharper in person. I have never seen an instrument this color before.

I have it plugged into my Fender 60w Rumble Bass amp and I get a really full sound. It's great, especially for the price! My complaints are minimal, especially for just how affordable this made-in-China guitar is. I have a small fret buzz that I'll probably be spending [...] bucks or so to fix and the jack is making my sound fuzz a wee bit. It's unnoticed when actually playing with another guitar, though (Yes, I checked! :) ). Keeping in mind you're only spending [...] bucks on a guitar, this bass' tone is GREAT.

It's solid, great-looking, and a wonderful size for a medium-sized player (I'm 5'5" and it's perfect). I love playing it and it's going to make a great impression on the stage.

Dean Starter Bass Pack with Edge 09 Bass, Metallic Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I wanted to learn how to play the bass guitar, I wanted to pick up an instrument that was affordable, but would not be substandard in quality to the point that it would frustrate me.

I have really enjoyed learning with this instrument -- and am still enjoying it!I'm not a connoisseur of bass guitars, but I've been happy with the sound on this guitar, and it has been easy to play.I've been playing for about half a year, including weekly "performance" with a praise team group at my church, and I am confident it will be some time before I have "outgrown" this beginner instrument.

I docked a star from this package because, in my opinion, the rest of the accessories that come along with the bass aren't worth much.The amp will work for practice, but doesn't bring enough volume to play in a performance setting without a loud buzzing.I rarely use it.

I still use the gig bag from this package, but it has not weathered well -- another reviewer described it fairly accurately as "thin as paper".Better than not having a bag at all, but it doesn't protect the instrument.My bag (which I am pretty gentle with) has developed several small tears that are slowly getting bigger, including a decent hole by the strap near the bottom... which means that if I wait too long before picking up a new one, either the strap will snap, or the weight of the bass will make it tear through the hole and fall to the ground!

The strap does what it should (no more, no less), and I don't use the rest because I already owned good quality picks, audio cables, and tuners, that are better than what is provided here... the included tuner seems awkward to use.
.................

Summary: It's a good beginner instrument (I still love mine!) -- but I don't really consider the rest of this "value pack" to be worth the expense, IF you are looking for accessories to keep around and use for a while.The whole package is probably worth it if you, like me when I started, are not ENTIRELY sure you are going to be sticking it out for the "long haul" with playing the bass.
