What Should i buy first an amplifier or the bass ?

I like to do covers to youtube with a crappy bass, and i don´t need a amplifier do record thats why im thinking in buy first a good bass.BUT
i have a band and sometimes i have an amp of the bass player from the other band that have rehearl at the same spot that i and my band do pratice.
What do you think?
The bass that i´ve thinking to buy its the Peavey Milennium AB BXP 5 Strings bass and The ORANGE CRUSH PIX CR25BT 25 watts Combo.

Well, you can't practice with an amplifier sooo... I say Bass

IMO, if you already have a bass but no amp, get an amp. And it should be AT LEAST 100 watts, preferably 200-400 to start out. Get something in a Behringer if money's tight. I've been very impressed with their stuff lately.

If you have a bass and no amp, get an amp. A cheap bass with good strings and a proper setup will be fine to start with.

If you are going to be playing in a band with a drummer, I doubt a 25W combo will be loud enough. Consider putting the money for the new bass towards a better amp instead. There are many variables and choices to consider, and many threads on suitable setups for beginners on TB, so before you start looking at wattages and brands, I recommend determining your needs and finding a solution that meets them. Its just as concerning seeing a guy hauling 1000W and 4 cabs worth of sound to a bar gig as it is seeing him walk in with a 25W practice combo
