I suggest a Squier Affinity PJ or Jazz bass. Cheap and gets the job done. Pretty decent tones too and they have actives. Been having mine for about 2 months and love it. If I ever get good at bass like MuddySludge then I can upgrade to a Fender.

Nice choice I’m sure I’ll stay on the cheaper side of things.
