V7 Alder-4 LPB 2nd Gen : Nice looking bass

This bass looks amazing. I get asked about it all the time. I'm a guitarist so my reference for what makes a bass good is limited to just one other Squire P-bass. But it sounds great to me and the EQ can make it sound how you want it to in the mix. Once you've got used to having sweepable mids on a bass you will wonder how you ever did without it. It did come poorly setup though, saddles ridiculously high, being a guitarist I know what to do, but a complete beginner may not. Also there was some very minor discolouration near the nut where it looked like someone had overglued the binding after the white stain was applied to the maple on the neck. It's only small and very minor. I've had worse defects on two thousand quid guitars. The matching headstock, ebony fretboard and blue sparkle finish all look great in real life. I'm also impressed by the quality of the lettering and chrome parts. They look expensive and the photos don't do it justice. The control plate is a bit chaotic looking but it all makes sense and I don't see how else they could have designed it and kept those features.
