New to this thread - any advice welcome. I'm looking for a cheap-ish bass suitable for someone who can play the guitar a bit but is a complete beginner on bass. I've been thinking a jazz bass is the way to go (slightly narrower neck?, and I'm aiming towards 70s funk in terms of musical style) or even a short-scale bass (but maybe people would advise against this?). Being middle-aged and prone to nostalgia I'm quite drawn to the Squier classic vibe jazz bass guitars, but I can't really justify £300+ at the moment as a beginner. Anyone in London got something along these lines knocking around that they don't play any more? Or any suggestions about where or what to look for?
