Nothing wrong with P basses. Perhaps a little expensive for a first bass? Not everyone gets on with the P-bass neck (I don't).
You should be able to pick up something very playable for £250-ish, especially if you try the For Sale forum here. Ibanez SR300, Squier P or J basses, Peavey Milestone III would all be decent starters, especially if you buy second-hand from someone who knows their stuff. The Westfields are decent for the money. I hear good things about the new Revelations.
[/quote] thank you. I am a complete newbie so I don't really have much knowledge about basses and the qualities and other technics. The reason I choose the P-bass was because of that favorite bassist of mine and he sounds pretty good (to me) in his band's songs.
I have so much more to learn and I will consider all your recommendations.
