The first bass that comes to mind is a Fender Jazz Bass....ANY Fender Jazz Bass would probably work. They're the standard no matter where you go, and even if you buy a cheap one, the Fender Jazz is the easiest bass in the world to upgrade.
Other suggestions might include the Ibanez Soundgear basses, some of the G&L stuff, and if you're willing to wait a while, Carvin.
Of course, the Fender Jazz would be my first suggestion.
Hope this helps a bit!
