The V7 Alder-4 FL TS 2nd Gen is a seriously impressive fretless bass for the price. It nails that classic jazz tone, thanks to the Super-J pickups and the responsive ebony board. It’s an excellent choice for players wanting to explore fretless without a premium-priced investment, but be prepared to put in the practice to master the intonation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ebony fretboard is quite smooth, offering a different feel than rosewood or pau ferro. The 241mm radius is comfortable, but it's still a learning experience for fretless players.
The Marcus Heritage-3 system is generally reliable, but always good practice to replace batteries regularly. The mini toggle switch makes switching between active and passive easy.
The longer scale provides tighter low-end response and a slightly more articulate sound. It also increases string tension, which can require a bit more finger strength.
