yes seen these.. wondering how much of the cost is in the look, as opposed to tone

Hi there fellow bass peeps.. first post here, just looking for some nfo/opinions on topic title I'm looking into buying a semi ac ... to help with my tonal armoury in the studio, I have a stingray 5 and a JD super natural and I'm very happy with them, but.... but I've had a few jobs come in and I'm in need (from time to time) of that retro tone that I just can't get from my long scale bass's. looks aren't that important as I'm not gigging anymore, it's all about the tone!!! I'm looking for that classic woody retro tone, flat wound strings with that clumpy midrange sound, I have a budget of around £500 (could push a bit more for the sound) not in a real hurry so prepared to wait for the right one to come along thx in advance bass peeps
