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.

Buy Dean Starter Bass Pack with Edge 09 Bass, Metallic Red Now

The description says this package comes with METALLIC RED dean bass yet what i received was a red stained natural wood dean bass. It also states it comes with tuner, of which was NOT included in the box when i received it. I was first imformed estimated delivery would be between March 12th & March 15th and got tracking info with it then the tracking info disappeared. I received a call on the 15th stating it would be delivered on the 16th & needed a signature so it was a day late getting here. The bass is great, dont get me wrong. Just diappointed that it wasnt as described & no tuner in the box.

Want Dean Starter Bass Pack with Edge 09 Bass, Metallic Red Discount?

I liked this bass right out of the box. I am a beginner at playing bass but I am a musician. The bass in and of itself is solid and well built. However, with the exception of the bass and amp (for practice only), the rest of the starter pack is marginal at best. I replaced the gig bag as it was too flimsy and replaced it with a Dean hardcase made for the bass (as small as the investment may be, you should really protect it. I replaced the tuner with a Yamaha tuner. The pack did not come with picks (I am still figuring which to use or use both). I am not proficient enough to know the difference in the strings and its corresponding sound so I will leave that option for last. These changes that I have made suit me and my purposes. For the true beginner, I would recommend this bass pack if what you are looking for is something that you can start to learn on right out of the box. When I was younger, there was no way that I could ever afford a bass like this. Good job Dean for putting together a decent bass.

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. The gig back is nothing to brag about but will work until we can get a better one. The amp is a cheap one, but for a beginner it works fine. the guitar is awesome, it has a very good sound.
