Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. When i wrote the post the answer seemed pretty obvious, more than it had in my head. With all the comments you have made added to that it seems pretty straight forward. I'll be picking up me squier jag tomorrow. Very excited. Despite the fact that you don't know me at all and it will probably be of little to no interest to you, i'll let you know how it goes when i get it. Alan, does your pic suggest timness? If so it means you're clearly a wise man who should be listened to.

Hello, This is my first post although I have been lurking and reading the board for quite some time. I hope that some of you can help me as I'm an indecisive type of bloke and I've been mulling this over for a while and still haven't reached a conclusion. I'm in the market for a new bass to preplace my old Marlin that I bought when I first started playing bass about 15 years ago. I then moved on to guitar but I've been roped into playing bass in a band and I'm really enjoying it so I'm going to return to bass playing for the forseeable future. I'm looking for a reasonably priced bass as I don't want to spend a fortune on one. I have narrowed it down to two, the VM Squier Jag (which I could walk into my local shop and buy today) or the Jag based design from SX the URSA 4 (which has to be imported from Rondo Music). I love the Jag design and I particuluarly love the blue version available from SX. [url="http://www.rondomusic.com/ursa4rnpbu.html"]http://www.rondomusic.com/ursa4rnpbu.html[/url] By the time I order the SX, originally priced at around £100 and add in a case and delivery and import tax the price rises to around £220, whereas the Squier is only £40 more than this. I've read good things about both and I tried the Squier and enjoyed it. Am I better with the Squier than the SX, particularly with the price rise on it? Has anyone on this board played the Ursa 4? What is it like? If anyone wants to add to the confusion, does anyone know of any other Jag based design basses that I could pick up? Not wanting to spend more than £250 if possible. Whichever one I do decide to get is going to result in a row with the Mrs anyway about me buying it, so I want to make sure that the end result is something that will be worth the nagging I'm going to get about wasting money. Any advice would be greatly received.
