I've a bunch of Peavey Foundations and Furys cost £100 or less but there's nothing unusal with that 
Going with something different. Peavey Zephyr 5. You folks in the US never got the Zephyr series,a few years before the Grind bass was released Peavey sold these semi-Cirrus passive models in Europe. Came in neck-thru and bolt-on.
This Zephyr 5 was £100 with a poor wiring repair job. I could fix the wiring or MOD
Shot wiring got change for a Tonemonster 2 band EQ. Pickups swapped for Warman Jazzbars (rehoused in rosewood covers) Tuners/bridge got changed to pretty golden Wilkinsons. Marshall knobs. Think that came another £100
End result was a beauty

Encore E83 (the same bass as the Sunn Mustang and Indian made Squier 2 I believe).
£40 from eBay, it's 10lbs 3oz of unadulterated P bass. Great pickups and neck, even came set up well. I'll chuck some flats on it, replace the pots and jack, then it'll be ready to rock.
