Bridge pickup is closer to the bridge. Bit brighter / tighter sound for the Jaco thing.

If you research back far enough, the early VM models were, essentially, the Squier Standard series sans the Original Contour Body decal.
Whenever Squier "refreshes" the range, they concentrate on whichever series is selling better.
Which model is it? Perhaps, a pickup and electronics upgrade would suffice? (Easy with, P, J, MM and EMG-35 format pickups. Tricky with some of the Ibanez in-house soapbar designs.)
As long as the Squier felt good I’d be happy to upgrade as necessary going forward.
But, I played a G&L tribute bass and that felt ace.
Only tried them acoustically, but it has got me thinking I need to spend a bit more, or try some well set up classic vibes.
I'd also recommend Tanglewood Overwaters in your price bracket, but they're getting harder to find. The frets are better than Cort.
I know where to find one.
It wasn't loud, I could hear pretty well.
Was jamming on the Ibanez last night:-
Got me thinking about music man. What are the Sterling models like? Forgot to try them in the shop.
G&L is definitely the favourite atm. I like bases with the classic looks. Are the pickups standard Jazz size?
I 'd like a bass with possible upgradability.
Also just looking at the Ernie Ball Sterling bases, are they any good?
Got to admit I dn't know much about Music Man at all, they are something I've over looked but I was watching Vulfpeck and I like!

IMHO, the brand new prices are a bit steep. Wiser to buy pre-owned.
I’m leaning heavily towards Jazz but this does look great. I’ll have a think.....
I was in negotiations with somebody late last year but everything got scrambled when my mother fell ill.
I doubt that my price for the used instrument would be much better than Anderton's price for a brand new example. The other line they carry that is worth checking out is the older Sire V3 and M3 models.
I have a Vintage brand Stingray copy. It was one of the first in the UK from the 90s and it’s very very good too.
