New guy, which is why I'm posting

So I've never actually played any musical instrument and my brother plays guitar. I wanted to just hang around here and check out some stuff about basses because that'll probably be when I play if I ever feel like trying it.

What do you need to know to motivate you to try it out?

Cost really. Not much else.

you don't need thousands of dollars to get started. You can get started for a few hundred dollars. An SX or Squire or Ibanez bass and a little 15 watt practice amp wouldn't put you back a whole lot, but I don't know where you're at in life. I've had times I didn't know how I was going to pay the bills and eat and would have killed for $300 bucks.

Alright thanks for those names, I'll be sure to look them up and see what I can afford.
