If you keep your eyes open you may be able to find a nice MIM 50s P-Bass on the used market in your price range, maybe even a Road Worn. I'd encourage you to consider a lightly used instrument to get more bang for your buck.
Also, a lot of people swear by the USA Peavey Fury, which can be had very inexpensively on the used market.
