Hmm, got any more info about this?

I've been keeping an eye on bass bros, but didn't realise bass direct were so close. Some excellent advice from you both, cheers, thank you so much! I'll look into that and hopefully find my muse 😁

Hey there forum peeps. I'm looking to buy a really nice bass, as a present for myself. I don't know exactly what I want, but I have several preferences, and I've come to seek your help in tracking down my dream machine. It has to be 4 strings, fretted and long scale. I have a strong preference for the precision-style pickup configuration. Also vastly prefer a natural wood style finish, or as close to that as possible. Ideally new, open to near-perfect second hand. Budget up to about £2K. I don't know what make or model I want, but research tells me Ibanez, Lakland and Warwick will likely be good contenders. Because I'm searching for my ideal instrument, I need to be able to try out lots of options to find out what I like, hate and eventually, I hope, love. And now, the kicker. I live in Leicester in the East Midlands, and there are no nearby retailers I can find with a good selection of basses to try out anywhere nearby. PMT Notts and Northants both have crappy stock. They're the best l can find nearby, but their stock is not good enough to justify the trip. So, can any of you fine wise folk help out this old duffer find the seemingly impossible? Thanks.
