The V3 ORG 2nd Gen is a seriously solid bass for the money. It’s got a great foundation with the mahogany body and those J-Revolution pickups give you a classic, articulate jazz tone, but the Heritage-3 electronics let you dial in a surprising amount of versatility. This is an excellent choice for gigging musicians or students looking for a quality instrument without the premium price tag.
