What cheap bass to get?

You should at least look into the Yamaha TRBX stuff. Not much to look at IMHO, but they are really great basses for the money. They are build well and sound excellent.

Not sure whats best. Just looking to get into electric bass, I play cello now, so shouldent be too hard.
Will be using a cabinet I have on hand with a JBL 2226h and a yamaha pa amp/mixer.

Thoughts?

Have the Jag SS and some expensive basses. Love the Jag. Might even buy a second just to tinker with.

I'm not that familiar with hamer basses, but if it's decent, you can go with that. otherwise, go with the fender. if you want more options for what affordable bass to buy, check out rondo music. they have great quality basses at super affordable prices. here's the link.

I just picked up an SX jazz bass with the old head stock. Traded it for a knife. I'm astounded/dumbfounded by this bass. It's silly-sweet: the neck slot is nice and tight, the stock pickups sound great and even the tuners feel good under my fingers [unlike a certain 800.00 bass I own that I won't even bother to name] If you can get your hands on an SX = try it out, they're dirt cheap new and even cheaper used.
