Many thanks for the replies. Trying a few out at a shop seems essential. A lightly used Sandberg would definitely be on my rdar.

Hi I am new to the Bass guitar, but want to learn with a good versatile instrument, that is not restrictive in terms of style or sound. Any recommendations appreciated. The budget is for the instrument only. I had a look at the Fender series, and I am sure they are good, but for some reason i am always hesitant to buy the market leaders.
