And I must point out here...
I DID TELL HIM THIS AT THE TIME.
Patrick:
Hush, you. Now I have to go make my retort-post useful, thanks! ;)
I am a pretty big fan of the "get a shitty Ibanez acoustic, fix up the bridge for proper intonation, and mount a humbucker on it" idea. Of course, you have to get a soundhole cover to prevent (or at least dampen) ear-raping feedback, but meh, details.

Secondhand Spector NS-4. AU$650 from The Bass Player, Annandale, Sydney.
Phaedra:
For anyone vaguely interested in my quest to learn the bass, I'm having an ultrasound on my wrist next week so hopefully I'll find out what's wrong with the damn thing.
In the meantime, I spent yesterday sussing out a few music stores around here. Good lord, music shop workers are a weird breed...Most of them seemed to take the request for advice as an opportunity to show off their own playing skills, and one of them was hellbent on selling me a Squier, for some reason, even after I'd expressed some doubt at this suggestion.
I think I have my heart set on a Fender Jazz...but this thing was kind of sexy-lookin', too: http://www.therockinn.com/inventory.cfm?Cat_ID=6&Man_ID=5&Inv_ID=145
No idea how it plays, though.
Ballard:
Hehe, Beatle bass.
I'd tell you to go for a Hofner if you're getting one of these, but they're all priced out the ass except the one linked, which is too cheap to play well. (Hofner was the company that made the original Beatle basses)
I'd say a Jazz is a pretty good selection.
Good luck with your ultrasound. Hope you get to play soon.
