If you can pick up from west midlands then maybe worth keeping an eye on this;

I might be selling a CV 50s P for less than £200 soon.

I managed to pick up an Indonesian Squier P-bass Special on here for £150 a year or two ago. Fantastic bass - P body, J neck & P/J pups. Certainly worth looking out for as an alternative that's well within your budget.

Yep, I'm seeing quite a lot of tantalising "collection only" lovelies on eBay these days,

Just had a look for the sake of it, even though I'm not buying. (I AM NOT BUYING).

I'm liking this one

...but I think the 340 inch scale might just be a bit too much to handle.

Washburn Xb-120, comes in at £173 with GAK.

My first bass, hell of a thing.

I am also NOT BUYING... but yes, if could manage 340" I'm sure I would "enjoy a new level of stardom"!
