any other suggestions on electric bass guitars within £120 would be great

Well, being in the U.S. I’ve never heard of any of those brands before.

I’d rule out the “sexy” one though LOL The string height in the picture looks pretty high and if the strings are high it will be very difficult to play.
AND the amp is only 5 watts.

I’d say if you are a beginner, the package with the best stuff with it is the first one. It has a digital tuner instead of a pitch pipe tuner. and it has a few wrenches you’ll need to make adjustments. The Amp looks OK.
I kinda like the last one’s guitar a little better, but I’d go with the first one.
They all would “sound” similar, but with the wrenches, you should be able to adjust the sting height if the action is too high.

For under 120 pounds that’s about the best you can get.
Personally I think like the other guy that a Squier Precision Bass Starter pack would be a lot better, but I saw on ebay UK that it’s 178 pounds. Still, if you can afford the little extra I think it would be worth it in the long run.

If not buy the first one on your list.
