Beginner bass guitar

[Spanky209]

I was thinking of getting a bass guitar, just to fool around with. Would this http://www.rondomusic.net/spb5734ba1565.html be an ok bass?

no. why would you want a 4" shorter one? I've never even heard of SX. however, if you're just gonna fool around and hav $100+ to throw away, go for it

SX is pretty good, but unless your a 11 year old girl or have tiny hands then get a 34" scale.
Check out the Yamaha and Ibanez starter kits as well.
