    Dean bass pickup replacement

    I have a dean bass that has what I believe to be a dead pickup and I'm just gutting the electronics to replace them. I normally work with guitars so bass guitar pickups are a little new to me. The issue I'm having is that it's a 4 string bass with a 4 inch soapbar pickup but all of the soapbox...

    Dean Metal Man replacement pickups and help?

    So I have a Dean Metal Man, the one with the 2 pickups, and I'd like to replace those pickups with something a bit more aggressive that pairs well with heavy distortion (like Cliff Burton style distortion). I was looking at Nordstrand Big Single, Big Split, and EMG 35TWX pickups but can't...

    Help needed on identifying a Pickup

    I have a Dean fretless 4 that had these pickups installed (I don't think they are the original). I'm rewiring the bass but would like help identifying these pups, for control pot ohms, etc. Can anyone identify these (pictures attached) Thanks in advance! Chris

    Can I mount this bridge on an acoustic?

    I have a crappy Dean acoustic bass and I enjoy noodling around on it but it has major intonation problems. With the neck relief within spec, I have notched the bridge saddles back to the point where there is no more room for adjustment and I need more real estate to get it right. My trusty...

    Basses with a similar tone to the Dean Metalman?

    I really like the Dean Metalman bass tones, I had a V shape a few years ago but had to sell it because I didn't use it much because I discovered I don't care for the V shape without a strap. I should have just bought a strap... Anyway, I'd like something with a similar tone, preferably with a...

    Dean bass upgrades

    Has anyone upgraded their Dean basses with new tuners, bridge, or pickups? I use a Dean Metalman V and I love it, but it's a POS hardware wise. I would love to upgrade it so I don't have to spend 2K having Dean build me one. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Fender P-Bass Pickguard on Dean Custom Zone Bass?

    I'm planning on getting the nuclear green Custom zone bass from Dean and was planning on putting a nice black pick-guard on it so that it doesn't hurt your eyes from all the black and i was wondering if a normal Fender P-Bass pick-guard will fit on the body of it.
