Actually it's only very infrequently buzzing and just a little when I strum an open E a little bit too forte (which is gonna happen every once in a while, there's no point in trying to deny it), the guy who sold it to me didn't *promise* that the guitar tech *could* fix it but he didn't see why not, the neck just needs the slightest relief.

It's fecking excellent. I played about eight different acoustic basses there, only one was marked lower than the Dean (it was an Ibanez and it sounded like ass), all the rest were double or triple. Without plugging them in (again this is mostly for practicing in my apartment but I would definitely consider playing quieter music with a duo or acoustic group or somesuch with this axe), the Dean sounded better and I mean considerably better than units that cost double and *almost* as good as units that cost triple. My guess is that the higher priced models would be better on an amplified stage, reading through the reviews this bass does appear to be a bit feedbackey.

But I wouldn't consider it over an electric. It's really good for what it does, but I'd only play on stage with this if I was playing some hella quiet music. It ain't for rockin' out.
