I got a Helix LT on the way and I'd like to try recording some bass along with my guitar since it has models for both. So I'm looking for a cheap bass (<$400 used).
I know literally nothing about basses. I want to play classic rock and metal. What features should I look for in terms of scale length (I don't even know what the common ones are for basses), pickups (are humbuckers also a thing on basses and do you typically want them for heavier music?), etc.
Or should I pick up a Squire P-bass or Jazz bass like everyone else and not over-think it? Is there a reason I never see Epiphone basses (or Gibson for that matter) being mentioned?
