The only Charvels I have seen have been the 'pointy' ones as you put it... I think they came from the same factory as the Jacksons, but I cannot confirm this. I haven't seen any other Charvel designs at all, so I would suggest you take a good look at it, in case someone has made a cheaper bass appear to be a Charvel?
The Charvels of old were reasonable basses, but nothing special. They did the job relatively inexpensively, and were great if you liked their design, but apart from that, they were just another one of the many names coming out of factorys in the east.
Sorry I can't help more.

Thanks everyone, yeh I tried it out, was pretty good but just didn't sit well enough in mixes, maybe its the reverse P pickup? And lacked a bit of mid range.
I returned it and opted for the fender jaguar which I love. I sold my first Jag which was a mistake. Even tho its made in china, I prefer it and used it more than my USA precision. Prob because of the low price, I don't have any qualms taking it to gigs around the country. I've never been comfortable taking my expensive basses on the road.
