Reasonably priced short-scale five stringers - recommendations please?

[Gasman]

I’ve been toting a long scale Bongo (for me) and a shortie HB (for our guitarist) to gigs for the past few months, ‘cos when I play sax he plays bass, but he finds that the shortie is kinder to his fretting hand. So at the rehearsal last night we tried out H&O’s ‘Maneater’ finding that in the key our singer wanted the HB ran out of notes low down.

 

This may well happen again for either of us, so the search is on for a reasonably (say under £500) priced 5 string shortie.

 

What would you recommend please?
