Ibanez and Yamaha have some excellent £200-300 basses, the Squier Classic Vibe series are fantastic quality, weve already mentioned the T-Bird but also check out the EB3 and Rivoli from Epiphone,theres the SUB from MusicMan, I think its about time Rickenbacker got onto the entry level bandwagon
I bought the Goth model basically because it is Black.. I have been playing it for a month now and this thing just rocks, feels good in my hands and would recommend one to any bass player.. I dont think it can be beat for the $. Im not sure what strings are on it but they have a great tone.. Im very happy with this bass

With Epiphone their $300 products are really good. The woods are not basswood, the finish is actually good, and they stay in tune quite well. I had a $350 SG G400 and it sounded just as good as the higher end Epiphones, honestly.
The Classic IV Pro is what I have and it is passive. And neck-through. It is a great bass - hard to beat for the price.http://www.music123.com/bass/epiphone-thunderbird-classic-iv-pro-electric-bass-guitar?rNtt=classic%20iv%20pro&index=1
