Recommend Me A Bass
I'm looking for a good low cost bass.
It needs to have a nice and bright but deep sound, maple fretboard preferred, and five strings preferred. Something maybe like a nice Fender Jazz Bass without the price tag.

And I don't know how bass scale lengths are, but what would be comparable to a 26.5" scale guitar?

Thanks a ton guys!

What price range are you looking at?

Because both schecter and spector makes great basses for about 500 dollars and a little bit more.
But cort makes good and cheap basses.

Nice suggestion Vova! I like the looks of that, and I bet I could score one of those pretty cheap used...

Hows the neck profile on them and all that?

I'd like to see something cheaper as well.

I've had horrible experiences with ibanez cheaper basses.

What about agile for a cheap bass ?

I was thinking in the $300 to $400 range, I'm really looking to go cheapy on it...as it's just going to be a recording tool, and I'm not primarily a bass player...

I've had horrible experiences with Ibanez period, but there could always been a nice one somewhere

I've checked Rondo Music Home Page there were no 5 string basses with maple fretboards.
