Dean has unveiled the Edge Pro Select series of bass guitars, featuring the company’s uniquely-designed Edge body, constructed of swamp ash with either walnut or burled poplar tops in natural satin finishes.

The new basses are available in four, five- and six-string versions, with the four- and five-string models boasting a traditional 34-inch scale length and the six-string a 35-inch scale to balance intonation and string tension for the lowest tunings.

Other features include a C-shaped five-piece maple/walnut bolt-on neck with a dual-action truss rod, 24-fret ebony fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays, custom-designed pickups, Dean’s high-mass bass bridge, Grover tuners, black dome knobs and black hardware.
