Give your height, I'd probably see if you can't get a short-scale bass. The neck is still longer than that of a guitar, but much shorter than a normal bass. Strings for a short-scale bass can be a bitch to find in stores, though. Usually, I have to custom order them - GHS makes the good flat-wound short-scale strings.
"Light" is going to be relative. Most basses are heavy, due to the nature of wood being heavy. Really light instruments are generally made of composite materials, which ups the cost significantly.
You might be able to find used an old Fender MusicMaster bass. They were short-scale, produced in the 1970's when Fender was owned by CBS. They are mostly pretty adequate to poor in quality, but for a learner's instrument, it would be great. In fact, it is what I learned on (later, I converted the bass to a fretless, but that's another story).
I personally HATE the Yamaha electric basses and guitars.
Also, Fender AFFINITY basses are cheap-ass crap made of pressed wood. Dodge them at all costs.
