So, I need a rather inexpensive Bass guitar and amp that is still good quality. Any suggestions?

I’m switching from Guitar over to Bass, and I’ve been trying to Learn through using my acoustic. I really need a bass, but I don’t really have a lot of money to spend. I’m willing to save up a bit, but the sooner I get it the better. I just want it to have a decent sound and be decently made, but be a reasonable price. Any suggestions?
