Stu,

I gotta say that the Gypsy Jazz bass #1204 that Peter suggested is indeed a simple (if not very simple) bass.
Without knowing what style of music you play, it may or may not work for you.

I play in restaurants and clubs, mostly standards, and the bass on slower standards made me nervous. LOL.
But the Gypsy bass is very laid back and easier on the vocals.
