V3 MA 2nd Gen : Nice budget bass

Overall very nice budget bass filled with features, highly recommended. In my case neck wood grain is just great. Fretboard edges are very noticeably rounded which is very nice feature that gives the neck very ergonomic feel along with satin finish. Frets are as good as they need to be, no fret buzz. Maybe professional luthier with all his diagnosis tools could find something wrong about them but I couldn't. Tuners and bridge are probably pretty basic but they do the job. Tuners work smooth and precise enough and holds fine. Bridge have all the adjustments and also got option for throught-body stringing. Preamp works as advertised and expected (you can find video on YT where Marcus himself explain every knob). Wiring done great, electronics cavity and cover are shielded with graphite and foil which I didn't expected at all. For the price it have very nice touches here and there all over the instrument. It feels good in hands, everything works properly and it sounds good. I'd say it pays off every penny and highly recommended if you're looking for a new bass guitar in this price range.
