Ibanez GSR100EX Gio Mahogany Oil Electric Bass Guitar
Bought the GSR100EX as a cheap bass I can keep next to my desk and noodle during the day between meetings. Didn't expect much and basically bought it because it was cheap and it looked cool.
Imagine my surprise when it arrived and a "quick test" turned into 2 hours of playing. No complicated preamps and millions of knobs to deal with, it plays well, it's light, holds tuning reasonably well, the humbucker sounds punchy and clear, etc. I love this thing. Granted, it doesn't feel as solid and refined as the Prestige line (so don't expect that type of build quality), but for sub-300 bucks I doubt you'd find a better playing and sounding bass. If I were to recommend a starter bass for someone just learning the instrument, this would be at the top of the list.
Literally the only bad thing I can say about it is that the fretboard was a bit dry out of the box and it needed a truss rod tweak. In fact, I'm considering getting the 5 string version as well, since I'm enjoying the 4 string so much.
