Dean

Upright sound, plugged-in presence!

The Dean Pace 4-String Electric Upright Bass is well built and well priced. Position markers on the side help you keep track of where you are on the neck as you transfer your hard-won chops to the moaning, liberating sound of a fretless upright. Solid maple neck-through construction with slotted headstock, standard 35" scale, and traditional 6"- radius rosewood fingerboard. Piezo bridge with buffer preamp lets you plug right into a standard bass amp. Double-braced tripod stand and black chrome hardware make the Dean Pace Bass easy to manage and very cool looking.

Pace Bace Challange

| Review By: Peter H. | 3 months, 4 days ago

2 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

Basic single control volume knob, EASY.  Like other's said, you control the real sound with the amplifier, and that seems to work well with the strings that came on it. It is a good upright bass (stick as I call it) to get the feel positioning of an EUB. I found the neck buzz is controlled with the Amp and also with finger positioning of both hands.

Quality:

Being a level 4 instrument, I expected junk. Didn't get it! It had some minor issues that were quickly fixed. Now for me togive it justice with practice, practice, practice.

Value:

I got lucky with this deal!! I've bought some level 4's and got what I expected, (used parts) this one wasn't one of those.

Do not be fooled

This is simply a cheap fret less turned on its side. Many commenters talk about a seamless transition from regular to upright, but this is because there is no transition. The fretboard is flat so it cannot be bowed like a standup and it sounds like an electric fret less bass.

The Dean Pace Upright Bass

| Review By: Cecil Deeds | 8 months, 3 weeks ago

4 people out of 5 found this review helpful

Features:

What a wonderful way to make the transition from bass guitar to upright bass. Received it in the afternoon and took it to a gig that night. Everyone was so impressed with the instrument and the easy playability. I was so happy when the audience flocked around me on break wondering how I had gone from bass to upright bass overnight. I played it through my Bose and it sounded fantastic. The note dots on the side of the neck take all the guess work out of playing this instrument.I was an overnight success with mine wish everyone else the same.

BASS-IC

This will be your chance to learn upright bass. Buy flatwound strings,get a decent eq.unit,practice ,practice, practice. This is not an acoustic upright bass.You will have to find your own SOUND. Experiment,listen to Paul Chambers. Learn some of his licks and you shouldn't have any problems. For the money...it's great! Caution: it will take a little time to get adjusted to the sound for it doesn't have a tone knob. The Roland cube 100 bass amp works great with it.

Donot buy this bass!

Overall:
I used to own one of these basses; what a disappointment! It seemed to go to hell in a hand-basket within a few weeks of purchase. The electronics never worked correctly; I either had no sound or the bass made these awful buzzing sounds. I took the bass to a luthier who previously had no problems fixing the wiring in either my Rickenbacker of my 1973 Fender Jazz. After playing around with the Dean Pace for the better part of two months, he tried to contact the folks at Dean and received no support. I also tried to contact Dean and never received a reply. I will advise in the strongest possible terms against buying this bass, or any bass from Dean for that matter. I finally gave up on that junky Dean-Pace and sold it for pennies on the dollar and good riddance!
