V7 Alder-4 AWH 2nd Gen : Great Bass but Gen 1 was better!

3 years ago

5 years ago I bought the exact bass 1st gen but the 5 string version, I love that bass so much that I bought this 2nd gen 4 string version exact same color .

However quality wise I think the 1st gen was overall a better option.

Neck wood is better on my 1st gen and that massive bridge compared to this new one is like gimmick. The factory settings on my 1st gen was flawless and I still didn't made any adjustments whatsoever.

The new bass came completely unplayable with upbow neck and the fretwork was very poorly done with sharp edges.

The only better thing on gen 2 is rolled fretboard nothing else.

My new bass will have to go to a proper tech for a good set-up.
