The Squier Mikey Way signature bass is a Mustang with an EMG35-sized pickup. This makes it easy to upgrade to professional quality electronics.
The Ibanez Mezzo has won quite a few friends recently.
Cort makes a ¾ Action Bass. Ibanez Mikro, Jackson Minion, Gretsch G2224 Junior Jet Bass II, blah, blah.
Sadly, this forum's number one Höfner Ignition Bass fiend has been conspicuously absent for several months.
Double your budget but the Ibanez Mezzo short scale bass I initially bought was a bit naff so I upgraded. New to bass but love the P!
The Epiphone EB-0 is slightly cheaper, but much more limited.
And with roundwounds, a P-Bass will do Motörhead too. There is literally no type of music you can't use one for.

The bridge looks very cheap and pick guard is not very well fitted but for £180 I'm more than happy with it.

I have a Brandoni short scale bass put together by Roberto Brandoni using vintage parts. It's fitted with Labella flatwound strings, sounds & plays great and is in your budget. Drop me a message if you're interested. Cheers.

Obviously, any other Lace "Stratocaster" replacement models will work but the tonal balance may not suit so bass so well.
