The "Bard melee is horrendous" meme is a little overblown in my experience, at least below level 45 or so and with modest twinking. Bard weapons have very nice ratios and are fairly cheap (BoH 10/18 and Guardian's Mace 14/24). STR gear is also cheap and abundant (i.e. Crystal Chitin Gauntlets, Hero bracers are +30 STR alone).

That's at least 5kpp though, not really "cheap" for the average player. More realistic, especially for newer players wanting to play a bard, options would be like a set of banded, HP rings, a sainys claw (6/19) and a sionachie's parisan (9/19).
Which is still entirely doable with haste, slow, and OP regen songs up. Regardless of how little DPS bards put out its still more efficient (no downtime) then another solo melee class unless their really twinked.
