think i'm a fan of yamaha bass. with that money maybe u can try the BB404, i think maybe u can get it around 700. never really check the price out except surfing the music plaza site. else if u have alittle more cash try bb604. i reccomand BB series over RBX due to the the

reason is the guitar weight is not bad.. it is very versatile in many playing .. the bad thing is.. it dont look really cool .. my own points of view i wont recomand RBX cause neck to small .. sound too dry.. weight unbalance if u are looking for a 'better' bass.
another bass will recomand is fender American Jazz Bass made in USA only USA model k not squier or mexico or japan or any else. but i think over 1k
personal preference to me i think most bass player sot of will start of with fender bass reason is it is one of the most versatile bass contructed.. the neck length is just right. frets apart is just right .. easy control to bass neck .. sound good. weight is good

the most uncommon between this bass and many other different standard of fender bass is the BRIDGE American '(Strings-Thru-Body)' the strings will go thru the hole from the bass and to the bridge. and the upgrade version include S1 switch which some of the old series do not have.
if u are considering mid range bass this are some of it that is quite avaliable in singapore..
if u are getting an advance bass there are many brands that are good and yet to discover in singapore like fbass, zon, modules, status, warwick, ibanez soundgear, erniesball stingrays, yamaha trb series and many more yet to list out.
