Yamaha. As high up the range as you can afford. Look at around £200 / $300 for a nice one, and anything higher is a bonus.

There is no right or wrong answer for this...If you like a deeper sound with more bass behind it...def invest in a Les. If you like something a little more bright and twangy then invest in a Fender. If you are into punk I think either is a good choice. But all other musical variants are better suited for one or the other.

Any multi effects unit would be great. I would recommend anything BOSS from individual pedals right up to the GT8 if you have the money. Theres also the Vox Tonelabs. The Line 6 stuff is great as well. You could also try just some individual pedals. A delay, chorus, and reverb would even make a massive difference especially during worship songs. Also try to get your electric amp mic-ed up rather than going through the system. A basic condenser microphone while awkward will give you a much nicer sound overall. Just place it in front of the cab a little off set to the side. Otherwise your amp is being wasted and the effects will be overpowering.

I prefer 2 lures for BIG BASS.  The jig and pig or jig and craw both are proven time and time again as BIG BASS catchers.  Also try any lures that are larger than you'd usually use.  Try a Heddon Zara Spook.  Use the walk the dog method on choppy water for great results! Almost anything that's too big for a smaller bass will attract the BIG BOYS.  Try any soft plastic worms that are 10 inches or more.  I like YUM worms due to the fact that they hold together very well.  I have caught several bass on 1 single worm, as opposed to say a senko that when used can usually only land 1 bass, maybe 2 if your lucky.  You can use a larger size original floater by Rapala to get larger bass also.  It is more knowing where the big boys are hiding while paying attention to conditions such as water temp, clarity, air temp, your retrieval speed, your techniques, etc...  You can catch a lunker on a finesse jig, or an 8 inch crankbait.  You have to learn how bass think before you can understand how they feed. Here is a good site you can use to learn about bass and their habits alittle more.  You can learn all sorts of good stuff at this site.  I know for sure that it helped me a great deal.  Keep your line tight and you bait wet,  BASS Fisherman

YES! You can learn to play it. I didn't start until I was 19 (I'm 33 now) after having played trumpet (of all things) for 9 years. To be brutally honest, one night it JUST CLICKED. I knew I had found MY instrument. \n\nLearning bass should be easy for you since you already have at least some musical experience AND you really like the bass. \n\nEven for someone who just wants to play "for fun", there are a few basic things you should know/do:\n\n1) Buy a decent bass. I know this is like listening to captain obvious, but one of the biggest mistakes that beginning players make is that they buy an instrument that is either too horribly set-up to be able to enjoy playing, OR one whose sound is so horrible that it is thouroughly UNINSPIRING. Now, what I mean buy a "decent" bass is that it plays easily, sounds ok, and is within your price range. Don't get hung on brands, just get what is cool to you. You should be able to acquire a decent used bass to start with(if you are not hung on looks either) for under $200.\n\n2) When buying a bass at a store, DON'T LISTEN TO SALESMEN. If you have to, bring a bass player along to give you some suggestions and maybe fill you in on some things maybe you are unaware of.........and oh yeah, TRY IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT.\n\n3) After getting your bass, either take a few lessons (to get some sort of a grasp on technique) OR get a friend who will show you. With bass, usually books seem to be too "abstract" about what it actually takes to get a good sound from your fingers.\n\n4) Even beginning players have a certain "level" that they must attain in order to believe that they are "playing" ..... even if it is just for fun. Once you have attained this "level", start ENJOYING what you play. \n\nJust make sure that you don't skip this stuff. You don't want instant discouragement. These suggestions will make the road to playing bass MUCH MUCH smoother.\n\nHope this helps.\nThanks\nJon

Oh Lady are you kiddin or what....in the dark....Man that's the dream of it all.\nImagine in a Jon boat lightly drifting across the lake, casting a Top Water Lure with a bearing in it that rattles/All of a sudden a big explosion and your reeling in something big that could be a Large Mouth Bass, but unitl you get your flash out and see what you got your uncertain, but confident and sure enough, a Bass at least 12lbs.. I haven;t stopped fishing at night since. and now I have two 14 lb Large Mouth Bass on my wall and I love it!

call basspro or cabelas and they'll send you one.  A better idea would be to pick up a current equipment guide and find out the scoop behind the products.

I've been playing bass for ten years now and got my degree in music with the bass as my major instrument.  I personally have never been that excited by Fender basses.  To me they have no character in their tone and they just seem very generic.  BUT alot of other people fell every different. MY advice is to spend some time in a number of music shops (if possible) and play every bass they have.  I would even take in your amp and other equipment because that can have an effect on the sound as well(again if it's possible) once you find the bass that has the right sound feel and of course price then you have found your bass and don't care what company made it.

Your going to want a 3/4 size bass.  This is the standard for most folks.  As far as the height of the bass, it can be adjusted with the end pin on the bottom to fit you just right.

for many types of music you really don't need a five string. so might as well save your money, unless you really think you have a need for one.\nit depends on what you currently have...\nbut i'd reccomend a nice Fender bass, one made in america, rather than foreign versions. i like the jazz basses, and there are some nice and more affordable artist models.\n\nit'd be best to know what your playing style and music style is. and then go from there. talk to other bass players in bands. you might even find someone selling a really nice bass, and save some money.

How about heavy metal? That could give you some kick!!!

Mostly trail and error.  Find something you really like, modify it so you can get a taste of what it would be like, and then try something of your own.  My husband has tab writing software that he writes his riffs on.  It is kind of annoying, sounds like old school nintendo, but gives you the basic idea of how it may sound.  Also helps you find the beat and speed of what you want, plus you can add bass, drums, etc.  The software is Tabledit.  I know they have a demo of it, but you are limited as to what you can save if I remember correctly.

I would recommend getting an ultralight combo from Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops instead. The combos will be much higher quality with out being too expensive, so its worth the extra $. Catch some slabs!

BASS PRO Shops have molds to make these. you can also find them on ebay once in a while

Depends on what kind of fish you are going for... if its bass, the one important thing to look for is shallow water, with deeper water near by...they hang out in these areas in order to escape the shallow water into the deeper. ex: a 4ft. drop off in a lake is a good place too look for them usually with brush or trees near by
