Now this is a serious bass.
Having started playing bass 10 years ago, I decided to buy this bass because i wanted step up my career to a more professional level, and i needed a good (not decent, good) instument. Having it for more than a year for now, I`ve done multiple professional recordings, tens of demos and home recordings, and a gig with my band every week (more than 100 gigs already). What can i say, the bass is comparable to those pro basses costing $1000 and more, its just that good. Always sounding solid and clear, punchy and cutting through the mix when i need it to, mellow and warm when i want it to sound so. It just plays so responsive, thats what distincts a pro instrument from beginner or mid-level instrument, the responsiveness. It just does what you need it to do. What you put into it, it gives you back thru the amp.
Really if I have to name a cons of this bass, the only thing i would say is a weight, thou its a 5-string Jazz, what should I have expected? A lightweight 5-string with a slim fast neck and super-contoured body? Go buy yourself an Ibanez then!)) Although weight of the V7 varies slightly from bass to bass, mine was about 4,2 Kg. A bit on a heavy side for me. To be honest, first 2 months after getting this bass I seriously considered selling it because by back was really problematic. But then i decided to go to gym to fix my health issues, and strenghten my back muscles, and bought myself a wide (like, 3 or 3,5 inch wide) strap, and the problem was gone.
The looks, feel, usability and playability of this bass are great. Preamp gives you a lot of flexibility, too. I could not want anything better, really. I dont even speak about the money, its just good Jazz bass, Im not shy to go to any gig with it. Highly recommend to anybody who wants a versatile pro-grade instrument.

This bass absolutely rules - it's honestly unmatched in the price range, and even takes shots at more expensive basses out there.
It sounds beautiful active or passive, and gives me all the J-bass goodness I'd ever need.

Versatile bass
Out the box came pretty well set up, intonation was bang on, tweaked a little to lower action for how I like and took a little bit out the top nut slots. Very versatile with the bass, mid/scoop, treble, passive and active controls can get some great tones. For the price cannot go wrong, prefer to my sons Fender jazz, my German Warwick tops it but balance on the Marcus better, less top heavy but overall heavier. For the price excellent.
