Best cheap 5 strings?

I just bought a brand new Squier VM Precision 5 string for a whopping $215 shipped to my door from another member here on TB . I don't know what others think about them but in my hands I can tell you it rocks the bandstand. I personally own a myriad of very expensive custom and production basses. I know what good feels and sounds like. This Squier is a good bass. It sounds just like a P bass and that is what the doctor ordered. The neck has a great smooth feel and the frets are filed down perfectly on the edge of the fingerboard. Ive put my usual Ernie Ball flats on it and now will have my tech do a set up but It played great right out of the box. It would be hard to beat it for the money but there are a bunch of cool and very functional basses at the entry level these days. A man could make a living with a $200-$300 bass........just like when I started playing! 1964
/\/\3 too love my Squier
