What’s the cheapest bass you’ve been/are amazed with?

An Aria RSB516, I bought it because I just wanted something different to play for a bit, anything really. The headstock is supposed to be black, so it was discounted to £184/$250. I got along with it so well that I upgraded it a bit. DiMarzio Ultra jazz pickups, hardware swapped out, high mass to low mass bridge, 4 ply thicker scratch-plate for the ramp effect, knurled Gibson type knobs, groundless blend wiring for a better blend. It's the bass I play a lot of the time, but I do not tell...

That is a beautiful babe of a bass. The Dimarzio ultra jazz pups are excellent. Super nice job on that.
