| mrstickball said: 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:
Peavey Wiggy (just the head, very versatile)
