Help Picking Out a Bass

[Nivek91]

I'm playing some funky groove tunes and was looking at a few basses. Just came into some money and it's burning a big hole in my pocket lol. Around 400 bucks.

I was looking at the Squier CV 51, but wanted to see if anyone knew of any decent quality off brand basses.

Any recommendations?

I once found a CV Jazz that was absolutely killer! It could easily have stood up proudly in a shootout against other highfalutin basses.

Squire CV '51 Precision Bass in this clip...Number 9.
Put on some headphones and check it out.
It makes me want to buy one and I've been searching ebay for a good deal.

If that's what you're looking to spend I've been hearing great things about those CVs.

The Squier CV is absolutely worth the $350., but there are imo better basses to be had with that amount.

Early 80's Squier JV(Squier's golden era)
2002-Current MIM Fender Precision and Jazz(alder body)
Early 90's JP90 and Prodigy basses, Plus Deluxe Precision and Jazz

Some poor guy could be selling his American Standard on craigslist for $400.
