Bass players help me pick a guitar

I want a good beginner guitar and let's keep it reasonable. I'll need some sort of amp also.

You can find an Epi SG for $150 on craigslist. Good tone, easy to play.
ETA: If you are looking for a bass, I'd go with an Squier Jazz Bass. Can't tell if you're asking for a guitar or bass.

If you want absolute new AND a good value - Ibanez is difficult to beat. They sell a combo with a tuner, amp, accessories.
Most of it is disposable (including the amp) over the long haul, but you'll get a surprisingly long life out of the bass, itself, IMHO.
This is what I'm talking about - under $300 out the door.
You should be able to find this at your local Ibanez dealer, as well, if you don't like the internet route.
ETA: And this is a bass recommendation - sorry if I misread your OP.

What are you looking to spend?
I always go Squier for entry level. Cool body styles and backed by Fender.
Ibanezes might be good, but damn they always look like progressive metal gear.

Do you want a bass or a guitar?

Meh - depends. The boy has an Ibanez electric that kind of looks like a Les Paul, Jr. The basses are fairly conventional looking as well - the headstock is a little wonky, but they have to be after all the lawsuits.

Bass. Considering the Squier, Yamaha and Ibanez. Willing to spend around $250 or so just on the bass. The lesser the better in case I lose interest fast.

go to craigslist and buy one for cheap. get a mexican P-Bass or Jazz to start with and get a good set up for it.

I'd find a nice used OLP bass with a used 2-10 Ampeg combo. Think you'll be out the door around $400 and have a great sounding setup that you easily get 100% of money back out of.

Could some seasoned bassists provide their thoughts on Fender basses - jazz bass versus p-bass? I'm thinking about getting one but have only limited experience playing each.
