Just my 2 penneth as we say in Yorkshire.....
I've been playing for 10 years+ and have bought and sold and own expensive stuff (see signature below for my current collection), but recently off here I picked up a westfield p copy for 65 quid, albeit with upgraded pickups and a highmass bridge, to use as a 'knockabout' house bass and it sounds and plays lovely. I mostly play soul/motown/northern soul, so my usa precision is usually my gigging bass, but i did a spot with the westfield on saturday and i couldn't tell the difference in sound, neither could the audience/soundman/rest of band......it was 65 quid, so there you go.
