Dean V Metalman 4-String Electric Bass

The Dean V Metalman is a 4-string bass with impeccable metal credentials. From its radical V-shaped body and matching headstock to its aggressive tonal output, every inch of this instrument is engineered for the stage. Designed for players who want to make a statement, the Metalman combines high-impact aesthetics with a raw, powerful sound that cuts through the heaviest of mixes.

Maximum Attack & Punch

The sonic heart of the V Metalman is its high-output soapbar humbucker. Positioned specifically near the bridge, this pickup is designed to capture maximum string tension and clarity, delivering a punchy, mid-forward growl perfect for fast fingerstyle or heavy pick attack. The Basswood body provides a lightweight feel without sacrificing the resonant low-end frequencies required for modern metal genres.

Precision Playability

Featuring a low-profile Maple neck and a smooth Rosewood fingerboard, the Metalman offers a fast playing surface for intricate bass lines. The bolt-on construction ensures a snappy response, while the classic machined tailpiece provides excellent sustain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bass comfortable to play while sitting down?
Like most V-shaped instruments, the Metalman is most comfortable when played with a strap or by "cradling" the lower wing of the V on your leg. It is perfectly balanced for standing performance.

Does it come with a case?
The Dean V Metalman is sold as the instrument only; cases and gig bags are sold separately. We recommend a V-specific hardshell case to protect the unique body points.

What kind of music is this bass best suited for?
While it can handle any genre, the high-output pickup and bridge-heavy positioning make it an ideal choice for Thrash, Death Metal, and Hard Rock where "cut" and definition are essential.
