We really need a budget to give you any worthwhile recommendations. That said, the general recommendations here are the Squier Vintage Modified/Classic Vibe, the Yamaha RBX170/RBX270/RBX374/RBX375, and the Ibanez SR300. Not entirely sure of the fret numbers on the Squiers but I'm sure there's 24 fret ones there, the Yamahas and the Ibanez all have 24 frets.

I'd go with a used Ibanez, or maybe a Yamaha.
But yeah, we need a more specific figure. Budget to me means sub £300.

Look for used, or
One of the cheapest and worst is the Rogue SX100B. Maybe you don't want to know about the bad, but cheap usually gets you bad, if you don't know what you are doing. Tabdog |

+1000 to the Yamahas. I have a RBX260(270 without the Jazz pickup) and I *love* it. Got it used at Long And McQuade for $125 Canadian, no less. If you can get an RBX I'd check those out. Can't really go wrong with Ibanez either.

Ibanez SR's and Yamaha RBX's are a solid bet. Alternatively if you look used Traben Arrays are good bang for your buck, 24 fret basses if you can get over the bridge.

Fernandes Atlas 4x, I don't have it yet (sadly they're rare as hell in Italy) but I tried it and I was blown away, they're way way better than any Yamaha RBX or Ibanez SR.
