I am interested in learning bass and I would like to buy one. Don't say SX because I have to try before I buy. I would like to spend less than $400 on a bass and amp. Also, I would like one that is lightweight, since I'm a girl. I've tested out a few basses and I know I don't need a short scale. So, any suggestions?
