I normally recommend beginners go to a guitar store and try every style they can get their hands on, to figure out what body style is most comfortable and what neck qualities you like (thick or shredder-thin? Glossy or satin finish?)
Also budget $50-80 for a pro setup, which can help playability tremendously (and as a beginner, you won't really know if there are playability issues).

I had a really minimal setup, just a single p bass pickup with just volume and tone on the body and a basic bass amp with just EQ controls. It was limited enough to where I could slowly play with the dials and figure out what changes what.
If I was in your situation, I wouldn't worry too much about the nuances. I think you'll be able to do whatever you need to do with one of these guitars for the foreseeable future. By the time you need an upgrade, you'll know what your preferences are and what to get different. It's like that with most of my hobbies. Get comfortable with something then upgrade to your real preferences
On the other hand, if you stick with playing this will be a guitar that can last you a very long time if you take care of it. It would likely retain its value better over the cheaper options also.
I told my gear advisor that i wanted to start getting the supposed "20% coupons" and all he could do was enter my birthdate into the system. No coupon on my birthday.
ps. GC has been 10% since May for everyone with a GC account. So this "new account only" is a misnomer.
> Yeah it was impossible for me to tell different tones apart for the longest time
Fenders after 2018 have a humbucker that splits into a single coil with 95% the same volume and tone. Not like the old days when split into single coil was drastically thinner.
