Dean Sledgehammer Tone



When I saw them, I thought they were Semi-Stingray clones. I soon realized that the Warwick Thumb was clearly and inspiration. The tone on the clip above makes me think of a Thumb.


They're passive with MM clone pickup that's, IMHO, marginal at best. On the up side, they are made well and not too heavy and balance well. Definately a good bass to mod.
