Get a cheap bass - Rogue, OLP, Squire or Ibanez to ensure you actually like bass before you get into it a lot.

Practice. A lot. Get better. Learn to play your favorite songs. Learn scales and how to use them in songs.

 

As far as cheap basses go, Squire is one of the best.

When you're ready to upgrade look into something with the neck-through body for better sustain.

STAY AWAY from the cheap Ibanez, I had one, it was much heavier than it needed to be and sounded like crap.

You will also need a good amp, I would recommend Peavey, they have a good sound and you can get a good deal on a used one.

My setup right now is:

Hohner B2ADB

Peavey Wiggy  (just the head, very versatile)

Hartke 4x10
