I once turned down a Gibson Ripper in favour of a cheapo P-bass. The difference was only about £20, too!
It was a natural maple body with the 'arrow-head' headstock, as on the Flying-V bass, and with the sliding pickup.
I couldn't get the pickup to move, the frets had been pulled, and even then my preference for P pickups was starting to show. Still, it remains a bargain I should have put the time and effort into fixing up.

It was a Grabber, another highly underrated bass. On my list for one day, however the power of P always draws me to safety.
