I bought one for xmas for my son following the advice here on the forum. I confirm it's astonishingly good value, easy to play & sounds like a bass (to my ears !).

The advantages are a more even and punchy sound than the original pickup, and hum cancellation - more important for bass than guitar because you can’t dial out the offending frequency as it’s in the note range of the instrument.

Or the Ibanez Talman?
Except they are not, budget? yes, a multi toned, active Bass? No.....
A used one is worth a punt, if feels/plays ok, change the pickup, for the money, they are a bargain....
Ideally, wait until these begin to become available ex-demo or pre-owned.
The Squier Mikey Way Mustang Bass has an EMG-35 sized soapbar pickup cavity and scratchplate cut-out. This makes it a doddle to upgrade.
I've got the Ibanez one. It's good. I'm not sure I'd bother to spend more on the Fender Mustang. I don't think the difference is worth the extra money.
I will probably sell mine at some point as I'd ideally like a 32" P style bass.
