my few pieces of advice from as far as I've been on the road:
1) with amps, behringer is a BAD choice for bass, they cheap out on a lot of hardware and overrate their power supplies.
2)if you're just playing with friends/at clubs you'd want a reasonable combo or small stack, like the warwick pro fet 3.2, which has 150 watts into 8 ohms and a headphone jack.
(make sure if you're drummer has a real set that it is at least 100 watts)
3) DI = BAD
4)ALWAYS check out pawn shops, you can get great gear at a great price and is in a slightly blemished but otherwise perfect condition.
also, if you want a nice upgrade bass:
squier vintage modified series is great, epiphone is not worth it, standard fender if you can afford it. and the Ibanez SR series is good, but generally screams "I don't know anything about bass", mostly because only beginners use them.
