5 String on a budget

Hi all,
I'm looking a picking up a 5 string bass for some home recording work but am limited to around £200.
Yep it's Jan so the funds are tight.

I've been checking out the classifieds on the site and noticed a Tobias Pro 5 going for £220 and a Squier 5 stringer for £190. Both of these look pretty classy and my recent experience with Squier guitars has been very good (I own a couple of classic-vibe telecasters).

Anybody got any view or experience on these models? Or any advice on other used 5 string basses that might be worth looking for in this price range?

Cheers
Pat

Thanks for all the input chaps.
The Tobias sounds (and looks) good... my only concern is perhaps the 34 inch scale. I've got a 35 inch scale on my Grind 6 and that's about as loose as I would want to get. Obviously the Grind 5 would do... but I'm not enamored with Grind basses at the mo.
