Well, let's see....

Your best bet for an amp would be a small combo amp (30 to 60 watts or so- big enough to play with someone else in a low volume environment). You'll need a strap, too. Picks are optional- most bass players play with their fingers, although some use picks. Some do both depending on what music they're playing.

If you get a combo amp with a line output built in, you can run that to a small mixer and then into the line input on your computer soundcard. You can record your bass that way.

But I'd start with the bass, a small combo amp, a strap, and some lessons.

Good luck!!

Not sure exactly what you are asking, Bassgirl. Are you asking what kind of bass to buy, or what kind of amp, or what you need to record your bass? How about some more info- what kind of music, what you want to do, etc.

Hey I see you are a beginner bassist so I would suggest a starter pack for your first purchase. Starter packs can be bought for around £120 - £200 that will include everything needed to get start playing the bass guitar.
