Rondomusic does sell some good deals, check 'em out.

Until you get a real bass, there is a method that I've used in the past that has fooled everybody, even bass players.

I simply record the guitar, playing bass with pick or thumb/fingers, using only the lower four strings on the guitar - E.A.D.G.

I play the bass part and record it, knowing that what I'm hearing at the time of the recording is one octave higher than it is supposed to be.

After recording the track and getting it all to my liking, performance-wise, I pitch-shift the track down one octave.

Application of an amp/cabinet simulator plugin set for some target bass amp sound, almost aloways an application of Audio Compressor and there's a Bass Track.

Strat or Tele with single coils can sound amazingly like the Fender P or J basses.

Use of guitar with humbuckers, you can get the Ric sound or a fat bass sound if the guitar is solidbody (I once used a Les Paul to create a picked Ric track that made the real Ric owners drool) or use of a hollowbody w/humbucker up by the neck can even be used to roll your own pseudo-ac. bass track when picking with fingers.
