A great glimpse of Dean headstock history. All those beautiful basses you guys posted really makes me want to do a custom headstock on the juggernaut.

Some more inlays
MOP in the script and wings
Abalone in the dot between the wings

Abalone in the Rosette

Looks like the wings are on the way out.

I don’t know?
Their slogan has been ‘get your wings’ for a long time.

 

[Bass Man Stan]

Looks like now it's get your dean .

I finally had a few minutes to check out the new juggernaut side by side with the mim fender jazz. The dean won in every categories. Pick ups had more range. Bridge is beefy. Neck and fretboard felt nicer. Hands down better looking (except the oddly placed mustache wings). If you are on the fence about buying one, jump on it!!!

My bass was delivered today and it is very nice. Two piece body, one piece neck. Hard to believe that it has been in the box since 2015. View attachment 3572838

I haven't been a member of this club before, but I've been a member on TB and a Dean owner for many years. I think my DOA number is like 02-00133, or something. I wish I had grabbed the Razor NT and Psycho Cabbie basses before they went OOP.

Still, I love the ones I have.

@2many has two

I'm looking at the one on GC used.

I'm hoping it doesn't sell until after I receive my Rhapsody 12 string I just bought used on fleabay.

I really don't need another bass but I always say that , Anyway I'm eyeballing this used Dean Edge Pro and was wondering if these are very heavy back breaking bass (weight wise) < Your thoughts on overall quality , etc . Never had a set neck bass or guitar before Just curious , Thanks

 

[Bass Man Stan]

Buy it and take it back if you dont like it. These dean basses are starting to move fast. I was looking at one last week and it sold while I thought about it.

That makes sense , I do that all the time especially with GC online , Just eat the small shipping costs $20-$30 if I return it to the store

Neck thru (not set neck)
Brass nut
Active 3 band eq preamp
Flame Maple top (not photo finish)
Basswood body
Rosewood FB
14" radius FB
I own 2 of them when they still had the Badass II bridge
The newer bridge is individual for each string as pictured at the bottom.
I can’t recall the weight but they’re the top of the Edge Series bass.
They come with passive Dean pups.

My two Edge Pro basses both with Badass II bridge
Trans Braziliaburst

Tiger Eye

After 2006-2007 they came with the monolithic quick change bridge and horizontal script logo rather than vertical which looks like this.
The top one below appears to be the one you're contemplating buying.

I'll try to remember to weigh mine when I get home. I'm guessing around 9 lbs.

Sorry to have you wait for the weight.

According to my Health-o-Meter non-digital bath scale this bass weighs in at just slightly over 8lbs.
