if your just starting,pinchin pennies, and not sure if you're wanting to keep playing, go with a "Squier JamPak" or whatever. it comes witha sub-par (Squire Affinity P-Bass) bass and a sub-par amp (Fender 15B). good for starting. they run around $300.

if you want to go with Fender and plan on sticking with it just get a full fledged fender P-Bass or Jazz Bass. The P-Basses are about $400 and the Jazz Basses are about $470


Schecters own. my current ax is a "C-5" 5 string bass. for only $500 it plays great. if you want to go with 4 strings the "C-4" should be just as goodfor about the same price as a Jazz Bass (if you're a pick player the Jazz or P-bass would be better because my C-5 has really low action [string height] so it buzzes like hell if you play pick)...plus if people ask what kind of bass you have just scream "SEEEEEE-FOOOUUUUR" like it's an explosive and they'll immedatly start to worship you.
