Headphones could be plugged into this and no amp will be needed?

Correct - plus it has a tuner built-in. Have a look at the specification details on the Zoom website. PMT are selling them for £49.

Hi Sam and welcome, I would definitely look for used gear...... I have been hugely impressed with a Mike Dirnt Squire Precision I picked up very cheaply a couple of years back for all of £70.00 (it was unplayable at the time the set up was so bad) it is still one of my go to gigging basses, as long as a bass is set up well you should be able to enjoy learning to play on it.

Amp wise I was very impressed with the 100W Roland Bass Cube, not overly expensive nowadays (there is one on Evilbay for £130.00 at the moment) I gigged with mine on quite a few occasions it will stand up to a drum kit providing your drummer is not stupidly loud

A good tip if buying used if to set up a search on eBay using location. Set it with 25 miles of your post code and look for collection only items (which a fair few basses and especially amps are)

The advantage of this is that the items go for a much lower price due to the much more limited number of potential buyers as a lot of people can't be bothered to travel. Prices can be lower to the point that I keep and eye out and buy stuff to just to sell for a profit by selling with postage...

So much great advice on here. It is all such a huge help when I have nobody else to ask. I am taking everything in I thank you all.

Jellyfish - Thanks for going to the effort of searching for basses for sale and supplying the links, I appreciate it.
