I'm thinking that Latvia may not have a lot of gear, and that the presence of an Affinity may be a pretty good deal.
I love my Affinity and won't trade or sell it for the world - well, maybe just short of that anyway.
As far as quality, I know the Affinity line is solid and even if it's not their highest cost or has no snob appeal, it is a solid and dependable performer and of course, it has that Fender mystique to it in the head and body shape and iconic appearance.
If I had limited or no contact with dealers - and I suspect that you may be in this situation - then you might want to consider parts availability, brand recognition and overall that anything that remotely looks Fender shouts a distinctive statement.
There may also NOT be a boutique bass luthier or sales facility in Latvia, but, hey - then again they may make some really choice gear - but for a big price too.
I get this sorta of treatment in new Zealand when I visit there - the prices for what I consider entry-level gear is out of sight, expensive and rare to some extent.
Hopefully you can get to play and feel for yourself and buy the bass which you think is best. I also hope your choices or products-available are larger that I surmise as whatever is the real situation.
My good friend is from Sophia, Bulgaria and although they don't have much of the new US gear, there is some - although rather stilted - has some access to used gear in certain 'political circles' - if you will.
