or,
Do I find a good used bass?
I've been playing guitar for 50+ years but I know nothing about bass.
I'll spend time on The Google today, but any help here is greatly appreciated.

I started a little less than two years ago with a Fender Jazz bass I bought off of a friend (got it for $500). My hands are quite small, so I transitioned to a short-scale. I got a Gretsch from GC for ~$300 and I love it! It's much easier for my small hands. I hope to get my fingers stretched enough to eventually get back to the Fender. Ibanez makes a pretty good short-scale for ~$200.
