Question ? Next bass ? - Help

I know it's been asked before (a lot) but I really don't know what bass to get next. At the mo, I have a Squire P-Bass (1st bass - holding up pretty well), but I want to plan ahead and narrow down my next choice. I want to stay with a 4 string but there are so many... . I would have about £200 to spend. Cheers

200 anything isnt a lot to spend

If I was you, I would save atleast 500, then start looking for a bass. Going so cheap is just going to lead you to looking for another new bass 2 months down the road

yea, definitely save more. when you get a second instrument, you usually want it to be a step up in quality. for 200 anything, you wont get that much of a step up. the only thing i can think of would be an Ibanez GSR-100, GSR-190, or GSR-200. good luck.

What then? As a 2nd bass, for roughly £500, what would you get? Btw, Khanzo, that bass was pretty 'orgasmic' but what's up with the spike on the head? Weird

If I were you, I'd get a G&L Tribute because I have one and its awesome, especially for the price.
