You need to find a good bass with four strings on it that does work and make sound. You can get any starter package ranging from $100-200 from any music store. The things that you need inn that package will consist of an amp, you don’t need one this big, but just one that will make a sound and let you know what you’re doing. You’ll need a strap because it’s very important to play standing up. And you’ll need to get some picks and probably a book about learning technique and stuff like that.

And curiosity is the most important thing. "
