You already bought it, but for your next one a few ideas. You can get an upright for under $1K though it will likely not be the easiest thing to play. Upright and electric are two very different beasts and require different approaches.

I assume you are looking 4-string? Ibanez has some wood grain basses that aren't crazy expensive and aren't a classic J or P (eg SR500). A lot of guys swear by stuff from Rondo Music - dirt cheap Chinese instruments. If you look used you can always get a lot more bang for your buck. If you really want to play upright though - get an upright. And a bow. And be prepared to work. Awesome instrument to play though...
