Makes sense as I bought it new in 08. I took possession on 1/3/08.
Awaiting arrival of this Dean Razor NT I found online, my 3rd Dean bass , Last month I got my first 2 Dean basses, a Hillsboro J in Trans Blue & white Hillsboro single , great basses that were like new and cheap too
So you buy a cranberry bass on thanksgiving? Very cool bass. I get my razor Tuesday along with some new pick ups and my first set of DR sunbeams. Shipping is slow this time of year. Looks like we both are going to have a great holiday. Enjoy!
Thanks, I was reading about the Razor bass this morning (1am) and decided I try one , The furst one I saw online got sold and saw this one and got it, Didn't know the color name was called "cranberry" , I'll have to look for the original Razor catalog page , Another impulse buy I'll add to my instrument stock pile , Enjoy yours too ...
I think you are going to like the razor nt best of all over time...
Would like to hear your impressions once you get into it.
Yes, cranberry, amber and natural. The razor is a collectible classic at yard sale prices. South Korea has put out some really nice basses over the past years. I really wanted a neck through bass to mod to my taste and not bust the budget.
NICE!!!
I love Rhapsodies and yours look like they are in excellent condition. I love the Amber.
My new Razor looks like it's on fire!
I had a Dean Edge 5-string back in the early 00's that was a very good bass for the money. It was my main bass for many gigs. I set the action as low as I could get it without strings buzzing... it was smooth as butter and had great tone. Ended up selling it on eBay... wish I still had it. Dean is underrated. They make good basses. I also had the Dean Rhapsody 12-string for a while and used it for Drop D sets... and later on strung it Bbb-Eee-Aaa-Ddd for recording originals. Sounded great and powerful, only drawback... it was heavy.
The razor looks brand new (2005) but has been played enough to wear down the whole note frets so that they buzz a little on the sharp/flats. Ill take it in for a look over.
Nice pick-up Stan. Maybe just needs a bit of fret dressing. But you had me thinking so I just took a look at mine. The four string I bought new. Yet it had been hidden away for years before I got it. Frets are new. I've not played it extensively. Five string shows the slightest amount of fret wear. I bought it used and have played it a bunch. Barely perceivable around 5th fret area. Lots of life before she'll need attention.
