I may well be able to supply a fair bit of hardware to go with the bodies and necks. I certainly have a large range of four and five string bridges in stock. And if you're interested in a five string bass I have a complete set of active Seymour Duncan Jazz bass pickups with the active circuit to go with them. I also have lots of EMG active circuits in stock, which will be heavily discounted as will all the above necks and bodies.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

But I've got a long backlog of house jobs, and a bit of gardening to do (as in a full time job for the next 3 months) and a cabinet making course to finish, and I told GSP that there was "no great rush", so breaths shouldn't be held just yet ....
95% of music out there is comfortably played on a 4 string. 5s are also heavier.
Nothing wrong with a budget P bass until you decide to upgrade. J's have smaller necks but sound a bit cleaner and nasal (on the bridge) than Ps, they work for funk and driven indie tones but a P has a better basic tone for typical rock music.
Then again if you listen to some Sade and your mind is blown by Paul Denman (1993 concert dvd recommended) get a Sterling Ray 34 or a US Sub.
Nothng other than I thought it might be 25% more useful than a 4-string . Slightly more seriously, I thought the extra low end would make it bassier and give me more to learn.
Im currently leaning toward a P that I could easily "amend" with an extra p'up.
Or perhaps a 5er.

5s are more about playing across the board rather than along the length - and less about extra low end.
Go for a 4 - you really won't be missing out on very much at all
