Dean Guitars and Aphex have teamed up to create the Dean John Entwistle Bass. Two Entwistle signature basses, the Spider and the Hybrid, use the Aphex Exciter/Compressor/Optical Big Bottom circuitry.

The Hybrid is a standard model, while the Spider is a limited edition collectors’ item featuring an active three-band EQ, spider-web inlays, and an angular body design. The Hybrid has a similar body, but with more rounded edges, and includes several upgrades from the standard, such as the bump up to a mahogany top and body from alder, rosewood or ebony fingerboard instead of maple. The Hybrid also uses EMG Lo Z pickups versus the standard’s EMG HZ humbuckers. Learn more at deanguitars.com.
