Buying new, have to say the Peaveys seem very hard to beat

If you can stretch to a bit more, I'd def be going for this one: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/222978-fs-1979-ibanez-musician-mc924-940-fretless/page__p__2368004__hl__ibanez%20musician__fromsearch__1#entry2368004

Have a quick look at Harley Benton on Thomann, they have a lovely looking neck thru.

It's interesting to note that the forum seems to be running parallel interest in Harley Benton and J&D Brothers cheap basses. Some time ago, J&D was selling a through neck that looks a bit more 'normal' than the Harley Benton. E.g. see here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173581-jd-brothers-5-string-l200/ But, they sell for quite a bit second hand. I've checked on ebay, and there's [url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-D-JD-S5B-Brothers-5-String-Bass-Guitar-Through-Neck-Active-/251313949980]a five string that sold for £181, potentially plus £17 postage[/url], which is more than the [url=http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbz2005.htm]HB[/url] costs new.

Satellite P Basses often come up on eBay though prices can vary considerably...

Usually highly overpriced, should be avoided at any price. Badly built early Korean-made driftwood tat.
