[quote name='Moos3h' post='595422' date='Sep 11 2009, 09:45 AM']I'll start with the disclaimer that this is just my own opinion here, but:
I have just 'obtained' Westfield P-Bass copy. I've set it up, re-wired it, have a GFS pickup on order and replaced the bridge. All of the upgrades cost a total of £50 inclusive of delivery. These basses are £110 new.
So, the bass is made from cheese, possibly MDF or similar.
But it sounds fantastic! It's got all the clarity, weight and guts of 'the real thing' and I've been able to directly compare between this and a USA P-Bass. Stays in tune, nothing falls off (but if it did, it'd be a cheap fix).
So really, assuming you are someone who likes to tinker and customise a bit, how could it ever be justifed to go and spend £1k+ on summat 'posh', when you could pick up a couple of these and not worry in the slightest about the odd knock here and there?
Right, off you go Internet, argue!

It may suit your style of playing and you can get the sound you need from it...... Perhaps I'm a snob but I'd rather staple my fingers together....
