look on eBay, musiciansfriend.com or americanmusical.com. All have great starter packages for under $400.
Fender, Squire, Gibson, Epiphone all are good.
Just make sure you practice, practice, practice.

it might count type on your component of collaborating in. in case you do no longer hear to lots jazz, initiate now. i desire to propose beginning up with Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Stan Getz. As a bassist, you will quite get excitement from Jaco Pastorius, John Patitucci, Jeff Berlin, Paul Chambers and Ray Brown. As for a sturdy piece to play, Pitter Panther Patter by ability of utilising Jimmy Blanton (of the Ellington Band) isn't too puzzling, yet very concepts-blowing. in case you like some ingredient incredibly complicated, attempt Havona by ability of utilising Jaco Pastorius and climate checklist. in case you like some ingredient less complicated than those 2, i desire to propose basically with the flexibility to play the precise and jogging lines of Miles Davis' So What.
