Marcus Miller V7 Alder-4 AWH 2nd Gen

I quite liked this one, even though I eventually decided it wasn't for me.

The build quality is good, so is the sound. When I first plugged it in, I was actually impressed with the sound. This was my first jazz bass, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was not disappointed. There was power and clarity to the sound, and I was able to get quite a number of different sounds with the knobs.

Comfort-wise, it's a bit on the heavy side, at least for me. I experienced some neck dive, too. Apart from that, playability was good, the neck was comfortable, string spacing was right up my alley.

The bass needed some setup when it arrived, most notably the G string was much louder than the others. I was able to remedy it by fiddling with the pickup height and string action.

Overall, if you're looking for an affordable jazz bass, this might be the one for you, as long as you don't mind the extra weight and the occasional neck dive.

I'm just a hobbyist though, so take this review with a grain of salt.
