i think that 'aught to get you started

as for the bass and amp... somewhere between $150 and $20,000

my first bass was a red Squire p-bass and i had a little Peavey 10" amp, it all cost about $180. now i have a Dillion 5-string Dagger bass, two trace elliot amp heads, one for a Bag End 15" driver and one for a 2x10 Warwick cab. ~$2000 in all

the bass looks like this:
