Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new bass. Primarily I'm a guitarist, but with my job I play a lot of bass and need to get a decent one - I produce music. Ideally, I'd like a USA P Bass, but the budget won't stretch to a new one, so I'm looking second hand and have around £500-£600 (max) to spend. I've been doing some research but I'm still a little unsure of a few things. Would someone mind throwing me a few straight-forward bullet points, or something, to illustrate the difference between the types: USA Standard / Special / Highway One. I've seen a bunch around and getting confused as to what to do! I'm not only looking for USA ones, I know they're the best, but I know that there are certainly some decent mex/Jap ones about, especially the reissues. Of course, correct me/educate me where you can!! Thanks!
