I want to ask something. I'm going to buy my first bass and it will be jazz bass. In my country, Paranormal 54 is $536 and Cv 70s is $697. I tried CV 70s before but I have no chance to try Paranormal 54 (600 km away from my city). What do you think about Paranormal 54? Do you think I should get the Paranormal 54 because it's cheaper?
Thanks for answers.

The china made Para54J feel better than Indo CV on my hand. But, my cheapo Bacchus J has similar build quality and awesome fret job to both Yamaha trbx504 and Fender Am Performers J.

They are both really nice basses for the money, you won't be sad either way. The pickup spacing is different between the two; the Paranormal will have 60s spacing (usually warmer, more round) whereas the CV has 70s spacing (usually a bit more aggressive and edgy). Which one you like more is purely personal preference. The pickups in the CV also seem to have a bit more character to them, whereas the Paranormals I've played sounded a little bit "boring" for lack of a better word

Thanks for answer. Actually, it sounded like that to me in the demos when I listened to paranormal (I am a fan of Roger Glover and Geezer Butler so their aggressive tones). But I wasn't sure because ı though maybe it was from the person's playing it. If you say so, I guess I'll have to turn to CV.
