Glenn. You never returned to this thread with any follow up.
I am going to assume that the disposable funds mentioned in the opening post went towards your latest guitar amplifier. Luckily, the question prompted some good replies.

A thought for the pawnshop/used model: Cort.
They've got some short-scale double cutaway P models for a good price on the 2nd-hand market.
MIK, decent quality (if they haven't been all hammered on and hacked to death).

As long as the topic might be purely hypothetical, I would say screw the $300 price limit and get a USA Hamer B4S short scale bass.
While I was at it, I might get one with a few additional strings and fancy flamey wood.
Unfortunately these are only available used and maybe a few NOS ones around these days, but they're out there.

The question at the heart of this thread is hypothetical. Odds are that nothing will be purchased.

if you want a funk bass, you dont want a short scale bass.

I had to go back and reread to make sure it didn't say Milky Way, 'cause I was really confused about how a bass benefited from nougat.

+1 for the Squier VM idea.
For fans of rosewood fingerboards and Competition Stripes, there is now also the Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance) signature model. The important difference is the soapbar type bass humbucker pickup. Easy upgrading to EMG-35 or Blackouts ASBO-4.

Speaking only for myself.
I think you can build a good high quality short scale from Warmoth if you do want....Last edited by Diminished Triad; 07-24-2013, 08:53 AM.
