Senti,
Someday would be the one to check with in regards to Bass guitars.
I can tell you that if your are not in a big hurry and want to get a great deal for whatever brand you might be interested in,Go to E-bay and do a little shopping.If your not familiar with this experiance,check with someone you trust that is and they should give You the do's and don'ts of E-bay.
I have bought hundreds of things on E-bay,including my last Martin,and as of yet have not had one bad experiance.
To me,it sounds like your son has some genuine interest in what He is doing,and speeking from some experiance{tngrs},I would definatly make the investment to accomadate the young man.If he truelly has an interest in music,your investment will be worth more than any amount of money could ever repay.....
Again,check with our resident probassgall Someday,on the make and model scene,and take it from there.....
Just something to consider- If you have a local music store,it might be worth a try to check with them,even if you don't get a great price the first time around,if you/your son establish a relationship with them,they tend to give some pretty good deals as time goes on.Something to consider in the long run..
IMO,13 years old and interested,get him the guitar,FAST........
