My apologies then... we all have different taste, needs, look ect.
To me CV are better basses. Ones had USA Standard Jazz from 2010. Most of the frets were covered in Varnish and as a bonus some got green polishing paste under the varnish(Really regret never took a photo) - On CVs I love small frets and the fretwork is ALWAYS spot on. Basswood, yes, crap wood - not for me. Many good Japanese Fenders are having basswood body. Cheap pots? Yes - are they really change Your tone? Come on...
On my Matt Freeman bass can go low as 2.00mm over 12th fret E string (La Bella Flats) without a buzz - Never could go as low with MIM or USA bass...
Happy New Year!
