Well, you can find used squire by Fender basses all day long for between $80 and $150. P-Bass, Jazz, Jag bass. No problem. Heck go to Ebay right now and pick up 5 of them. Or go to GC on the last friday of the month and see what they have lying around.

$100 to $150 used is not a problem to buy a playable bass for direct, hobbyist recording. No porblem at all. Jack Bruce would turn his nose up, be we ain't him. Buying a better one that will sound good live for a performance situation that will porbably never happen? No need.

finding a used pog mini in that price range is just as easy, and you don't have to learn anything new if you have an electric, or an acoustic with a pickup.
