Here is what I use - The action was super high (still is a bit) but a couple of 1/4 turns on the truss rod solved that problem. Works fine. I also bought a Yamaha for the kid because this is heavy, it has better electronics but it also has jumbo frets which results in a lot of clanking noises if you're not gentle with it. It also didn't come with an amp or anything.

I also use this to split to the amp When playing bass I turn the in-game instrument down and listen to the amp. The game will give you credit for a lot of "clunkers" and sloppy play. Guitar seems to come out of the stereo speakers my PS4 is hooked up to fine, but it really helps to split to the amp with the bass. It also helps to preserve the real-tone game cable as I never really touch it, it stays plugged into the pedal.

I highly recommend getting this

If you don't want a J bass for whatever reason (they sound better imo), there are similar sets around for similar prices. I feel like this one is a pretty decent deal, though. My dad bought me this bundle when I started playing bass.

If you're only starting out on bass and haven't played before, you'd be better off getting into a lower price range model, like an Ibanez GSR200 or one of its many equivalents, a Silvertone, a Fender, or a Dean, just as some examples.

I also recommend a lower priced model to start because of your concerns about blistering. Unless you're dedicating 4 or more hours a day every day of the week to practicing and playing, it's unlikely you'll encounter blistering at all, let alone need a mid-range priced model to start playing on.

A stretch of several hours with no prior experience might give you blisters, but playing and practicing in moderation will result in your fingers building calluses more gradually, without blisters.

Whatever you choose to do, best of luck!
