hey guys, I need some help with a bass selection

My first and only bass died a few weeks ago (dont try to hardwire if you dnt know what your doing) and I've beed craving for some good bottoms, so I searched around.
I am really drawn to hollowbodies, and I have narrowed my selection down to three basses:

1) Italia Torino in Solid Torino Green

2) Eastwood Classic4 in Walnut

3) Waterstone Brighton '64 in Trans Cherry (a blemished item)

Any tips/pointers/information on the above basses? and feedback would be amazing.

thanks,
jazzEADG

anything?

How about replacing the electronics on your current bass? Seems that would save some bucks.

have you played any of these basses? Pick a bass just on looks is... well, to me, it's like picking a power tool based just on looks. Ya gotta pick one up and play with it!

Stumbo: my bass is dead. like i killed it. jaco modded ibanez starter kit w/ no knobs or strap buttons. i really want to get rid of it.
BigOldHarry: i havn't, but i will have the oppourtunity in a few weeks. i'm not simply basing my opinion on their looks, but also their tone (i play blues and jazz). I play the upright with the school jazz band, but that is not always available, and i dont have the funds for an upriht ATM.
thanks for the input,
