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
danbanbass Posted April 30, 2020 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

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

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! Quote
ClassicVibes Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 It has a passive mode too which sounds great. Extremely underrated the Electra series is. Quote
Raslee Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 Whilst i really love the Sandberg I've now deducted it from my brain space. I've decided simple & passive! Quote

Pow_22 Posted April 30, 2020 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

Ander87 Posted May 4, 2020 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

You’re right - it really needs something to make fenders look overpriced, they’re don’t look that way when viewed on their own... Quote
