I have a V5 in vintage white. It's a really nice bass for the money. Plays pretty decent right out of the box. Hardware is OK but could be improved upon. Soundwise it has a very nice 70's J-bass tone. I installed a John East J-tone01 preamp in mine to elevate its sound even further. 

Thanks. 

 

As long as the bass plays well and isn't a boat anchor I will be quite happy. Like I mentioned previously, I can always run it through an external preamp if the sound needs a bit of extra juice. General consensus seems to be that the stock pickups are okay.

 

Mostly I'm just looking for something decent to have around to keep my chops up to scratch on. I've got a touch of arthritis in my right hand nowadays and I am determined to minimise its effect on my bass playing.
