Planning on a new bass

$1500 is a decent budget. Personally I wouldn't make myself adhere to any prejudice about where it was made.
While I understand, you can get a lot more bass for that money buying something maybe not made in the US.
For a do it all I'd be looking at a jazz style layout. They seem to cover the most ground.
