The Cadillac offers a P/J pickup configuration with 2-band EQ while the Z has dual EMG HZ pickups with 2-band active EQ. welcomed with the Edge Pro 5, a neck-thru bass with EMG HZ pickups, a 3-band active EQ and a monolithic bridge system, the Edge Hammer with its all mahogany construction and high-output pickups, and the Playmate E09L left-handed bass.

The new Dean Stylist Bass is something different - an F-hole acoustic jazz box body, floating Tune-O-Matic bridge, trapeze tailpiece and offset mother of pearl fret markers .
