Unfortunately i know absolutely nothing about guitars atm, so help with the following questions would be great!!! I've had a very thorough look around and I think i would like an ESP Ltd B-50 Bass Guitar in Black, is this a good choice ? Secondly, should i go for this guitar can any1 recommend a good 10 watt amp to compliment it. I'm on a bit of a budget unforuntely so nothing over Ł80 and preferably alot less! Plus, is there anything massively important any1 can reccommend i get or have a look at? Even if it seems damn obvious I dont want to miss anything vital All opinions appreciated Edited by JG101, Jul 20 2008, 10:57 PM.

Fender and Crate both make decent practice amps for bass i'd try one of those. don't forget to check on used stuff as you can find better stuff cheaper. get an electronic tuner being in tune is always a good thing. a decent cord as well.
