Lee, I love mine - sounds immense with either the stock Elite SS or La Bella 760M deep talkin' flats - and I'm tempted to buy another so I don't have to keep string swapping! Have to say, It’s a firm favourite at the moment. Going to give myself to the weekend to decide....if I last that long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbanbass Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) I had one of the early Squier classic vibe precision basses in Daphne Blue and it was a fantastic piece of kit! You might be able to pick up a Lakland Skyline P-bass around that if you're patient. Edited April 30, 2020 by danbanbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're concerned about weight, I would go for a Sandberg Electra VS4. Tiny bit over budget but I've never played a 'heavy' Sandberg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger...i was so almost there with the Bass Collection Profile and then you mention the S.... word, i thought they'd be out of my price range. I've recently got a 5 string Sandberg off here and I have to say I adore it, one my favourite basses I've ever had the pleasure of playing. £618 on Thomann, in the price range....aw shucks!

ClassicVibes Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It has a passive mode too which sounds great. Extremely underrated the Electra series is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pow_22 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Off all the P’s ive played including vintage fenders my fave and by far the best is my 78 tokai hard puncher. Cost me £550 a few years back but the prices are going up in these gems now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hey bud, If it helps, there's a nate mendel in facebook (probs here too) for £675. I think Paul Walsh had the most gorgeous tangerine Limelight P recently - I wouldn't miss a chance for a Limelight though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
