I've always liked the Hohner B Basses & Jack Basses, very well made instruments and cheap as chips on ebay. I have a battered B-bass but would like another. However i have recently tried the Squire Biffy Cliffy (who ever he/she is) bass, the lake placid blue one as someone has added earlier, and wow i was blown away. I a/b'd against a Fender in the local shop and i still much preferred the Squire, they sound soooo good aswell as looking good too....just need some cash and i'm going that way me thinks!
