I recommand a epiphone, probably a Thunderbird. It has two fat humbuckers. So you'll get a really big sound out of it (great for metal)
There not too much money
If you like punk style bass tone. you gotta go with a fender
any Jazz bass. (MAKE SURE ITS NOT MADE IN MEXICO). Japan is fine
Rickenbackers make great guitars, a lot of money though. You can't go wrong with anything made in u.s.a. The pickups are alittle weak (for me). So you might not get the tone you want.
But it will be high quality. Its more for old school rock.
Also Musicman, makes GREAT bass guitars (some of the best). You can get a cheaper model... for 700. But trust me, they have great tone and good fret action. active preamp, and 2 band eq (not shitty EQ, good sound. )
Don't get a Rogue, Ibanez, Esp,Squier, or peavy
some schecter, Warwicks are good
Sorry for the long post. Bass is always underrated
