These are really good basses that in my opinion are underrated. I have one that I bought new a few years ago and I am quite happy with it. It does not to me sound like a Jazz or Precision Bass...but has its own unique sound...which is really quite pleasent. Midrange sound is strong and it cuts through the mix nicely.

Having owned a 50's P bass and a 2012 American Std. P base, this MP Dimension Bass does every bit as good as the classics. Just put on a set of steel flat wound strings and go for it. Even the pro's will have a hard time to tell the difference, if at all. Neck is super fast, the body feel is comfortable, weight is like all fender "non Ash" bodies, and the 3 coil pickup with its broad 5 tone selections are all you need to play any kind of music. For the price $500 bucks, get one soon, as this model will be well sought after and it's labeled FENDER. Don't think twice about the "Crafted in China" thing, it's ever bit as good or even better than the US built Fenders when it comes to craftsmanship. Electronics, well take a look at iPhone, and other high quality electronic items made in China. Quality is unsurpassed. Enjoy a helluva buy! Remember as with any and all electric basses and guitars made. A HIGH QUALITY, HIGH END AMPS like GK, Mesa, Fender, and several others, will only enhance your sound 110+%. GreyHawk

I finally brokedown and bought the MP Dimension. I had been waffling for months between the MP Jaguar, Blacktop Jazz, or this. I ordered it on Saturday and got it the following Wednesday so good job L&M on your delivery service! I've only had it for a few days but so far I'm impressed. I got the Candy Apple Red. Set up out the box was good but I had to tweek the intonation a bit and string height is a little high for my liking. I'm going to wait a while and have it set up professionally. The fit and finish is as good as any other Fender I have seen or played despite the fact it is "Crafted in China". The neck definitely leans toward the Jazz side as it is narrower that the Precisions. The frets are finished nicely with no rough edges (not like the MIM Precision I had before). I would have liked the Maple neck but that wasn't an option. The finish on the body is flawless. When I took it out of the box, I did freak a little as I saw what I thought was a giant scratch down the middle of the back. Turns out it was just some risidual polishing compound and rubbed right off. The colour is awesome! Pictures really don't do it justice. The controls are noiseless and work flawlessly. I was a little concerned about the pick-up selector as those type of switches can be scratchy. I would have liked a tone pot, though. The sounds you can get from it are amazing. I really like the Triplebucker pick up arrangement. However, if you are looking for a typical Fender bass sound, this ain't it. It is heavy on the mid to low mid range like more towards a Music Man with a bit of growl. I like it but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. I am still playing around with the various comfigurations and haven't settled on one the suits me yet. All in all, I like it. I doubt it will be as popular as a Jazz or Precision, but that just means it will become a collctor guitar sooner and the value will skyrocket and I will make a fortune when I sell it. Could happen. ;-P

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
