help choosing a cheap bass

Sold, my bad.
Talkbass classifieds are really good as well. I've purchased many items from fellow TB'ers, and have been satisfied. In fact, I usually scour TB first, because the deals are usually the best.
 
Have you played a millennium bxp? I found a few of those on GC pretty cheap, or should i go for the other foundation s?

Play one?...I own one. it's really a great sounding bass. it's got a nice punchy sound and it goes easy on your budget. also it's passive. there's also an active version called the millennium ac. it also sound great, but personally I dig the passive version. I haven't played the foundation basses, but I've heard some good things about those basses. peavey makes great bass guitars. I do recommend these basses along with some other basses like schecter, ibanez, jackson, dean, fernandes, etc. if you do come across the foundation and the millennium basses at your local guitar center, test them out and see which peavey bass is right for you.

I may have a deal happening with a TBer here for an Ibanez

There you go. Ibanez makes awesome bass guitars. I own an ibanez sr255(for my band) and an ibanez sr250(for my brother's band) both in a candy apple red finish and they sound totally awesome.

Yeah, one of my buddys has an sr500 and has been a big advocate of them too, in fact pretty much everyone I've talked to loves them so it seems a pretty safe bet I'll enjoy it.
