Need help on bass

Unknown

I just wanted to know if anyone played bass here and if so what type of electric bass should i buy for a beginner? i really want to start playing over summer, but wondering what to buy. should i go to a pawn shop to buy one or buy a new less expensive one?

Please help me out
