Hi, thanks for the replies, I had been looking towards Squier but interestingly enough a friend of mine has a Vintage Musicman copy. I heard it through an old Peavey 115 and it sounded great, so I think I will investigate the V4 further. I just sold an Ibanez SR, it was nice and light but it seemed to have more of a metal sound. Its a traditional P bass sound that I'm after. I have some Fender CIJ pickups that I could always try in a spare when I get one too.
