My main gigging & recording basses are Squier P Basses.
I have three 1 x Jv, 1 x Korean & A Chinese made one. All have a slightly different feel, but play great.
The Korean & the Chinese both cost me £100 each s/h. Excellent value for money too.
I've always thought that they sound great, without too much adjustments.
Although they have been slightly modded with new bridges & pickups.
I've owned & tried more expensive basses, but i always come back to the Squiers.
