Anyway, I think I have found the right bass for me: a Stagg BM 350. Thanks for all your advice!

I am actually begging you not to do this. Stagg's have notoriously bad action, bad fret dressings, and often serious intonation problems. All in all, to get a fret dressing and setup, you may be spending as much as another $50-$100. And if the intonation is fucked due to improper fret spacing, or neck twisting, or improper bridge placement, it's just a useless hunk of wood. See these reviews-

Plus, for the $250 US these things go for, there are a million other basses by Squier, Fender, Yamaha, Dean, ibanez, etc. that are at the very least playable instruments with proper intonation. Assume that you'll pay even $50 to fix the Stagg's out of teh box problems and your selection is even wider.
a pack of wolves:
None of those will necessarily be a problem, my friend has that exact same bass and he hasn't had any trouble with it, so long as he gets a Stagg that he tries out first he'll be fine. Out of the basses mentioned in this thread that I'm familiar with the Stagg's are definitely the best for the money, far superior to any Squire I've tried for example.

Yeah, hi. I don't get it...

I got the joke! (obviously)
Well, even if I had to pay $50 to get the Stagg fixed, that would still be less than a Squier costs. Which, as everybody tells me, are fookin' useless.
Plus that Stagg is incredibly sexy. Ibanez, Yamaha? Not so much.
