This bass was actually a gift for my husband, who absolutely insists on a hardshell case for all his instruments. Instrument Alley offered not only the best price I found for this resonator bass, but also was the only place that shipped with a hardshell case included in the price, which is a good deal given most hardshell cases are upwards of $100. The instrument shipped quickly and was packaged safely. It has a very cool vibe. According to my husband, he only had to do a little set up on the bass to make it play the way he likes. He said he enjoyed playing it. At this point I haven't heard it through an amp myself, so I can't comment on feedback issues, etc. But all in all, he was very pleased!

Very impressed

Received my Resonator Acoustic/Electric Bass - CBK from Instrument Alley, a few days ago and am empressed by the apparent build quality. I am a beginning bass guitarist and wanted an instrument to learn with that would be playable with or without an amp - this fit the bill without being outrageously priced and it is absolutely gorgeous. In the photo here on Instrument Alley the edging looks to be bright white but in reality it is an ivory color and really sets off the glossy black body. Everything as far as fit and finish looks to be very well done and upon first impressions I feel I definately got more than I paid for. I am looking forward to learning to play bass and enjoying this guitar for many, many years to come. --- If you are considering this bass, make sure to buy the Dean hardcase (also very impressive) to protect your investment.

Dean Reso bass quest....

I pre-ordered the Dean Reso Bass at the end of February. I kept watch on when the guitar was supposed to ship and it seem to slip every month. I contacted Instrument Alley and they kept me apprised of the supply issues Dean seem to be having. I credit IA on their communication with me. It took six months before I received it, but the issues were on the supply side. Great reso-bass,.... great price....great communication. I have ordered before from Instrument Alley and have always been very satisfied.
Fun Bass WITH a case!
