there are cheaper alternatives too.. quality and soundwise, Fenders are way to go... otherwise if you prefer a cheaper alternate yet good sounding i can recommend either SX or Squier but i know... not much people like the SX since the finish well i don't like the finish either but aww heck I bought one... for emergency purposes

I just got an SX P-bass with a sunburst finish. I was expecting to get the old garish black-red-yellow sunburst (as per the pic on Rondo's website) that you usually get on cheap instruments, but I was pleasantly surprised when what I got was more of a subtle black-brown-gold sunburst. Very nicely done and not garish at all. I am quite happy with the finish on this bass. Goes really nice with the black pickguard I put on it.

Take a look at the yamaha basses too. They make a few excellent entry level basses for under $500

In your price range and being someone who is just starting out (and perhaps me being a Fender fanboy) I would agree with going with a Squier bass guitar. Precision or Jazz style is up to you, I would suggest going to a music store and trying out both first. My first bass was a Squier P-bass, which I still use and play on occasion as backup to my '98 Fender Precision.
