My son (13) has become very interested in playing bass guitar. He's been using my cheap Washburn ($150) that I just bought on a whim to lay down some low end, and my wife and I are thinking of upgrading to to mid-grade 5 string for him. From reviews i've seen I'm leaning toward a Traben. Any thoughts for a good value bass in the $400-$500 range? He plays stuff like Gorillaz, Gnarlz, and Chili Peppers. We're planning to audition some next week but would like a good starting point.
