Thanks - yes, it's got the MX serial, so I wasn't thinking it was a Highway but rather if they did some things at the Mexican factory too. It cost me £100; I reckon it's been chucked about a bit. It is a good bass though; I may strip it at some point, but there's a risk as to what the underlying wood looks like.

🙂 In that case, the Spirit. Alternatively, you could go for a (Steinberger Spirit) guitar and learn come complimentary skills.

I'll agree that through IE/headphones there are are lot of amp SIMs that just sound too anaemic or polite. Adding cab SIMs via my recent acquisition of an HX Stomp helps but some the classic bass cab SIMs are truly awful. Simply scrolling without reading what a cab is, has revealed that some choices such as 1x12 'guitar' cabs sound as good as anything that is marked 'bass' and has improved the IE sound. The MS60 does have a couple of cab tweaks which can really help.

Boss are loads of peoples favourites. When they came in in the late 70s, early 80s there was pretty well nothing to touch them and they remained that way for a long time. They came up with the standards for many effects and kind of defined both the size of effects and the controls we expected of them. And even the colours we expected effects to be! I think they are still the reference for what effects are supposed to sound like.

The Blackstar mini bass always looked quite nifty to me: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Blackstar-Carry-On-Travel-Bass-Guitar-ST-White/5GY5

I was going to buy a new rumble when I started 3 years ago as I think they are the best sounding combo by a long way BUT I ended up getting a GK combo really cheap. Theres not many around and people don’t go for them as they are a bit unknown but my 112 200w combo kicks ass and is plenty loud enough - I go it for £150. Look out for the old 400rb combos too - very reliable and sound amazing but heavy - if you are keeping it at home that won’t matter. I think you’d be really happy with a relatively recent Rumble though.

Handsome absolutely superb. I'm a real fan of Jon Shuker's work having visited his workshop to collect a great job he did for me.
