My new toy - Dean Jeff Berlin

Fantastic.

Throaty, punchy, growly mids, and the active bass control really has a nice bottom to it. The treble control is much tamer, (not the "breaking glass" type of high) but a very usable range that can make this bass sound great with a pick in a rock setting.

Haha, i showed my dad that, and he says you should sell it to a poor highschool student for 250 since you only need one :D:D
 
What do you think Jeff carries in that fanny pack.

A pack of Lucky Strikes and Kryptonite....who the heck knows.

The bass is awesome, I haven't stopped playing it since I got it. I intonated it, fine tuned the bridge, and the neck is almost dead straight. The action is low, just to the point of a slight buzz which is how I like it.

This one definitely is a keeper :)
 
Beautiful bass, awesome deal!!!

Jeff gets a nice thin/throaty solo tone, but I've never heard him get fat and thick... Can this bass also do a nice warm thick heavy R+B roots-rock kinda thing?

If it can, I might have to get one...

I think I would get the model with 6 strings and a built-in metronome though.

With the blend fully on the neck PU and the bass maxed, it gets pretty damn thumpin, very old school R&B, motown-ish.

Keep in mind if you get one when you pull up on the master volume to put the bass in passive mode, the EQ is inactive.
