Welcome Joe.

As you can see, you've come to the right place for advice.  Fortunately, affordable instruments made these days tend to play well.  You should easily be able to make a good sound without busting the bank.  Of course after you buy your first there will come a time when you want to get another.  This phenomenon is known as GAS...

As everyone knows, the ideal number of basses for anyone can be determined by a simple equation-

Perfect number = the number you already own +1
