what should I be looking for when I go shopping?

I like the ones with long necks is that good or bad?
other than the guitar what else should I buy?

bass guitars generally have a longer neck than guitars anyway, but having an even longer neck does not make much difference, I've only ever found one song i couldnt play because my neck was too short. So the neck is up to you :)

Make sure you research a lot before you buy, to get the one just right for you :D

You'll need:

A Bass Amplifier
Input Cable
Guitar Bag
Guitar Strap
A Tuner
(Optionally) Headphones
(Optionally) Guitar Picks, but you can use your fingers (I do) :D If you do decide t play with a pick, i recommend a small but thick one for bass.

Also if you want, you can get software for your computer to let you play songs you like :) People make the songs up themselves for you to play on this software. It's called Guitar Pro.

If you've got any questions feel free to ask me :D

I have a lefty Squier (I wish i had a Fender though ;D) Bass, and i love it :)
