>>1821087Story taim. I'm in a band currently, and I am the lead vocalist. I always fealt guilty for not actually playing an instrument, but K-on somewhat pushed me to get a bass guitar. One of the best decisions I've ever made (along with teaching myself Japanese). I used to play the violin, but that never truly caught on. Bass is just who I am now.
Getting your first bass and amp isn't expensive at all, as you shouldn't get one that exceeds your skills.
TL;DR, buy one NAO!
