I was just in gc, and I played several bases in this price range. couple of the squier anniversaries, a sire, and something else that I'm forgetting right now. then I saw what I thought was a classic vibe p bass in Sonic blue, but it turned out to be a squier Sonic p in surf green. honestly, it looked more blue than green to me. anyway, that $219 bass was the only one that said "plug me in." I did, and if I needed a cheap bass, that would be it. I know there are good and bad ones in the mass-produced world, but that one was great. the neck almost felt unfinished, so I think I would probably wax that or something. it played great, sounded like a p bass should when I plugged it into a rumble 500. really worth looking at for not much money.
