Dean edge Q4

[Mog]

Hi folks, any of you got a view on the Dean Edge Q4? I was offered one at 400€. Thing is its loaded with Bartolini pups and I just ain't a fan of Bart soapbars. It would mostly be used for blues rock/sludge so I'd probably be sticking some EMG's in there. Considering the cost of pup upgrades, is it a deacent deal? Any info on playability, construction quality etc. would also be a help.

I have yhe same with Tigers eye finish, I find it absolutely brilliant - you can adjust the tone on it to make the Barts sound like anything you like.
The only critism would be that body is a bit light - buts that's minor.
What is it about the Barts you don't like?
I paid £300 for mine second hand (in mint condition with hard case) so 400 euro's doesn't sound too bad if you don't have to change up your money from £'s

Cheers for the reply. they certainly are great looking basses. Personally I find the bart soapbars a little to nasal sounding even with both running wide open. Giving it a good going over on Saturday & I'll let ya know if I buy it.
