Don't know if you bought a bass yet but I noticed someone mentioned Farida basses. I've just bought one and it's incredible! As good as any Jazz bass I've ever tried that's for sure (and I've owned several :-) ).

Here's a video review I've just done of it - http://youtu.be/Aks3fSHA1jU[

You can currently pick them up for £149!!!

The Ibanez ATK models are very, very Stingrayesque and all-round good quality basses. The 200 and 300 can be had for £200-£400.

Assuming you've got your amp now and are still looking for a bass then try any prospects through your amp and play with the settings. A bass played through the shop's Orange stack is going to sound different when played through yours.

If you have a bass playing friend take them with you when you try. Two reasons, firstly they may be able to spot any obvious flaws (especially on second hand gear) and secondly, they can play the bass and give you chanceto stand back and listen from a distance.
