Try every one in the shop - you might surprise yourself.

It doesn't always follow that spending more money will get you a better bass, although the high-end basses are generally better made, with more expensive materials, there are still some expensive "planks" out there.

If you're just starting out,and want a cheap, functional instrument, you'll not go far wrong looking at the Squier and Epiphone ranges.

Thing is, once you get round to high-end basses,(and you will if you're a serious player), you might want to consider going to a builder and having an instrument made to exactly your specifications.
