V7 Alder-4 AWH 2nd Gen : The ender for Fender?

Pros:

The reviews aren't wrong. This the essentially the same quality and similar spec of instrument as Fender's Elite/Deluxe top of the range basses. Powerful, varied EQ, lovely construction with the rolled neck, very playable straight out of the box. Mid-sweep controls are especially fun. Considering that it costs much less than a Mexican Fender it does make you realise how much of a premium that headstock logo carries.

Cons:

It is a bit heavier than some, but nothing crippling. I've also realised that the jazz sound is a bit clanky and hollow for me so actually returning this and getting a P7 instead. I'm confident that build quality etc will be the same, just with a warmer P-bassy sound.
