Go enough to weigh basses and double as a food scale. Any suggestions?

For a food scale, I use one from Cuisinart. I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond for around $20. It will measures in grams as well as ounces. It also has a tare function that lets you reset to zero to weigh another item in the same container.
For basses, I'd just use your bathroom scale (assuming it is digital). If it's not digital, get one from Target or another mega-mart. Same deal as with the food scale, I got a digital one for around $20.

It's more cost-effective to buy two scales. You can get a cheap-but-decent small scale at any cooking-gadget shop, Target, Fred Meyer, etc. You can get a decent (but sadly, not cheap) large parcel scale at office-supply stores.
I do not recommend a bathroom scale because they are notoriously inaccurate--and I mean they can be off by easily a pound or more. |

A good digital kitchen scale measures tenths of ounces, but to a max of a few pounds.
