Re: Going Electric - what do I need to know?
Welcome on the electric side ;-)
Yes, the switch should indeed be a pickup selector.
I would look out for a small tube amp, maybe also one from Thomann? Or check out ebay. Sometimes a Fender Bronco tweed amp appears, these are solid state amps, but great little things! Of course, there are many different options. I've seen people rockin' a Marshall Mini Amp, but of course these are rather toys - OTOH, that's not a bad thing to be ;-)
Hope that helps ;-)
After all, the most important thing to know about electrics: Once you got the instrument, you will buy amps and pedals - AAS and PAS will join in with MAS
