Please see our handy FAQ for more info but bottom line is that the pack you've listed is crap. It's firewood. It'll be hard to learn on. The tone will suck. The amp will suck. The fretwire will be sharp. The neck will be of variable quality, likely bowed out of the box and you'll spend your life wrestling with that instrument's high action, running a higher risk of giving up the bass before you get far, because of the quality of your chosen tools.

If you have to buy a pack from amazon, this is a better pack. Yes it's double the price but it's actually a decent instrument and amp:
https://www.amazon.com/Squier-Fender-Electric-Beginner-Amplifier/dp/B0711QZNN9/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1519789929&sr=1-3-fkmr2&keywords=ibanez+bass+pack

Alternately, pair one of these two:

https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-TRBX174-BL-4-String-Electric/dp/B00O50JI0O/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1519790153&sr=1-1&keywords=yamaha+bass&dpID=31CCLBe69SL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

With one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Ibanez-IBZ10B-Practice-Guitar-Amplifier/dp/B0049SAEKU/ref=sr_1_16?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1519789934&sr=1-16&keywords=ibanez+bass

Bottom line is that if you want to get off on the right foot, you're looking at an outlay of $300 to 400USD to ensure you don't buy something that's utter shite that'll only last you 6 months before one part of the pack dies, breaks or becomes too fucked up to service. If you do not have enough money to spend $300 right now, I would highly recommend spending some time saving up, or hunting for Squier, Ibanez or Yamaha instrument on the local secondhand market.

If you're trying to save money now because you're worried you might quit, bear in mind that the resale on a nearly new Squier pack would be between 65-75% of original spend. Resale on a Crescent pack will be between "I'll pay you to take it" and 40% of original spend. If you do wind up deciding bass is not for you, you'll get much more of your money back for the better bass pack.

I've played a Yamaha bass like this when I was in a band with my buddy before. It wasn't mine, but I liked playing it. Easy and comfortable.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O50JI0O/ref=twister_B079NNZMLQ?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 this is pretty decent Edit, just seen that IPYF has suggested this one also.
