Best P-bass copy for the $$$?

[A-Step-Towards]

The answer is always Ibanez Roadstar, RB650.

Lordy, I STILL have GAS for one of these. I have never managed to have the $ I needed when one presented itself and now they are out of production (with that sexy Amber finish.)

Hopefully I'll stumble across one someday when I have the cash.

(For the OP)--the model in the pic from the post I quoted is a Squier Vintage Modified. Here's an example of an excellent Vintage Modified.

Even some Squier Affinitys (Squier's lowest-priced, most entry-level instruments) I've played have been surprisingly nice.

I've also owned an SX P bass (well, I still do, but its in pieces at the moment) that was very impressive for under $125 shipped. I got mine in 2006. Has a killer neck and overall is a perfectly decent bass. I'm bringing it back to life...

Guitar Fetish has some that look kinda similar : Invalid Link Removed

Picked up this '07 Squier for $95 the week of Christmas last year with the intention of modding it but, it sounds so good stock I am not going to touch it

I played one of the esp ltd p basses the other day when I went to get a new amp, and if I didnt want to save up for a warwick I would probably get it, it was actually pretty badass and if I remember it was around 500 give or take
