    This was my first Fretless bass guitar.

    https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beatbass_fl_vs_vintage_series.htm

    I bought it last year before the Brexit shit.

    I absolutely love it to bits.

    It’s my go to but a pain to play sitting down because it digs in under my ribs

    I'm waiting until you complete the transition by graduating to upright contrabass.

    Sheila, take a bow. ;)
    Be seeing you.

    Used you may be able to get a scruffy Fender in-budget; the last two I've bought have been under your budget. (That's Fender, not Squier "as good as" ones.)

    I had a SUB (by Music Man) bass which was probably the most solid instrument I've ever owned - I bought and sold it in-budget.

    Some decent Yamahas can be had cheaply; it's not a brand which particularly does it for me, though.

    It may be possible to build a decent one from parts, but beware, though, as I have seen some Squier parts being offered for more than a full instrument is worth.

    I think it's fair to say there is absolutely no way you're getting a proper Fender for £250 anymore. Squier Vintage Modifieds are that kind of money.

    I’ve noticed that Squier prices have got silly lately.
