[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1470693171' post='3107782'] For small jams into a very small place I got a €99 Harley Benton P-bass ('51 model) and fitted a MM-style pickup on it. Sounds as good as any P-bass stile in the €500 league... I think a pickup swap is always in order when you buy one of these basses. [/quote] I'll check their P bass out, not sure why I didn't think of that, I own a Harley Benton jazz bass myself.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1470686958' post='3107705'] Seeing as it`s new only, I`d add in the Matt Freeman Sig - I`ve never played one, but have heard a lot of people use them and they sound great in the mix. [/quote] Thanks for the advice, I have heard some talk about the Matt Freeman Sig. I didn't mention it as I've not had much luck finding one for sale, however I will keep an eye out.

Hello, I've been looking for a "P" style bass with a budget of approximately £400. I have been recommended Squier basses by several people and am considering a few of their models (Cabronita, Eva Gardner sig, Mike Dirnt sig, Chris Aiken sig, VM 5 string, VM P/J, VM Jaguar and CV 50's P). Aside from these, I have stumbled upon Retrovibe (T-Rod and Super-P) and Bass Collection (Power Bass). I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with some of the above basses and if anyone could make some recommendations (either from within those I've listed or any others that I have not mentioned) for a "budget P bass". Any information or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also, as a side note, I would much rather buy new than used which is why I have only mentioned models that are new for under £400. Once again, thanks. Mark.
