Bought a Markbass GV4 today. Anyone got experience with them long term?

I own a GV 5-string. It's the best Jazz 5er I've owned. Absolutely LOVE the classic Jazz tone, love how it plays, the skinny neck and how little you need to dig in for it to growl like mad. Aggressive sounding definitely.

 

My only gripe is the top row of knobs is too damm close to the strings. They get TOO in the way if I'm picking. So far I've removed the knobs so I have just the 3 bare pot shafts in the top row (at least I don't have leverage to move them if I run into them while playing). I don't discard restructuring pot positions in the future, as much as control cavity allows. Point for the "Leo got it right first time" crowd, I guess, at least with Precisions and Stingrays.
