Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Dean EAB Acoustic Bass Guitar.

Features and functionality

  • Comes with a built-in piezo mic, output jack, tone control, and tuner, enhancing its versatility for amplified or acoustic sessions.

    Source
  • The Dean EAB is available in a left-handed cutaway model, catering to left-handed players looking for acoustic-electric versatility.

    Source
  • Higher string action provides greater unplugged volume by allowing more leverage on the bridge and top.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Owners recommend Elixir Nanoweb strings for smoother playability, likening them to a blend of round wound and flat wound in feel.

    Source
  • High action is common with the Dean EAB, but adjusting the truss rod can help; try tightening it an eighth to a quarter turn.

    Source
  • Filing or sanding the bridge can lower action, but this might reduce unplugged volume by limiting string vibration.

    Source
  • Ensure the neck is straight before making any other adjustments; this can be checked visually or with photos from different angles.

    Source

User experience

  • Despite its portability and ease of play, beginners may struggle with the lack of a thumb rest on the E string.

    Source
  • Several owners note that while the bass is enjoyable, it may not suit everyone's preferences, as some look to sell their acoustic basses shortly after purchase.

    Source
  • Some owners note difficulty in determining neck straightness and recommend visual aids or professional help for adjustments.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Ideal for playing alongside other acoustic instruments due to its warm and full tone, but less suited for electric jam sessions.

    Source
  • The Dean EAB is noted for its decent unplugged volume, making it a potential option for casual living room jams without an amp.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Some users are curious about short scale basses like the Hofner for potentially easier playability due to shorter reach required.

    Source
  • One user compared the Dean EAB's unplugged volume favorably against a Michael Kelly Club Custom 5 string, suggesting the largest body size possible for better projection.

Fretless monster

I got this acoustic fretless bass because it sounded great and was just what I was looking for (instead of guitar) in one song. The tuners had to be replaced within months, but with Gotoh tuners in place it's all I wanted, although I must admit an Epiphone Rumblekat would have been a better buy, so who knows I might switch it out someday...
