V7 Alder-5 FL AWH 2nd Gen : The best bang for your buck in the bass world

You simply can't go wrong with the Marcus Miller line-up of basses. I've owned 3 of them total and they are my most used instruments by far at this point. The generation 2 of these instruments is an even more impressive package than the older version so I highly recommend you buy it.

The sound is particularly versatile with the built in pre-amp. I use this bass for everything from jazz fusion (Jaco sound) all the way to some funky Vulfpeck sounds and I've even played a few pop gigs where I got a sound similar to Matthew Carroll (Dua Lipa's bassist) and the playability is also extremely comfortable with the new rolled edges.

The only thing I can complain about was the shipping (it took long but due to COVID it's expected) but the condition of the package was very frightening causing very minor aesthetic damages. I hope that's just a one time thing.

The only complaint I've heard about the bass itself is that the tuners can sometimes be kinda messy. Haven't experienced that myself though.

Hope you find my review useful :)
