I think it was a quote from Gene Simmons that was in effect...
"Any bass will provide the bottom for any band."
With that said... I would search for a light weight 4 string.
Light weight means 8lbs or less.
I have got a huge permanent bump on my left shoulder from years of playing a 10 lb bass. Two lbs makes a big difference. And that is using a "Levy's wide strap" or
similiar.
I suggest the best bang for the buck would be a Carvin LB70, neck through.
Used on e-bay for a fraction of the original cost.
Highest quality.
But as you will search, you will see dozens of great instruments available.

Get something that is as light as possible.
Rock out!
