Dean Customs Zone 4-String Electric Bass Guitar

This is a 4-string electric bass guitar finished in a high-gloss classic black, manufactured by Dean Guitars. The instrument features a solid contoured body with deep double cutaways, typical of modern performance-style basses. It has a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood or stained fretboard containing 24 frets and classic white dot inlays. The headstock is the signature Dean winged shape, displaying the 'Dean' script logo in white and the 'D' logo on the truss rod cover. It is equipped with passive electronics, including a single soapbar-style humbucking pickup in the midship position, controlled by two chrome-finished knurled knobs (master volume and tone). The hardware consists of a fixed chrome bridge and four die-cast chrome tuners in a 2-over-2 configuration. Condition appears used but well-maintained; there is visible surface dust on the body and some light fingerprints. The fretboard shows light play wear, specifically some minor darkening from finger oils, but no significant gouges or fret sprout are visible. This model reflects a contemporary manufacturing period, likely from the early to mid-2010s, designed for entry-level to intermediate players seeking a sleek, lightweight instrument for rock and metal genres.
