EDIT: You can slap on a P-Bass and you can play reggae on a P-Bass. You can also get other bassses that sit in the mix as well as a P-Bass, but for ease, P-Bass wins.

34" scale length but body small and therefore not miles away to first fret F ...
Unfortunately, those changes are exactly what need to be made to arrive at convincing bass parts.
Bass is not just a big guitar. It's a way of life. (You'll love it.) The moves are different across and along the fingerboard. For me, that is part of the fun. By letting go of the guitar chords or riffs, it is possible to arrive at a bass line that provides harmonic, rhythmic and dynamic interest above and beyond plonking away on the root and fifth.
A £1k budget is plenty to make the OP happy, and still have a few bob left over for Xmas drinks.
Not back in Carlisle until next weekend, but I'm thinking of upgrading to a Bass over £1k.
I say the opposite; due to the small body and how it sits/hangs, the 1st fret is about a fret further away than any other bass.
