Hmm... Lots of quality outfits out there, depending on your budget. Depending on the size of bass you plan on throwing for bass, a 4 or 5 wt might suffice. It'll work for gills to, but I'd prefer something in the 2-3 wt range for that.
TFO rods are quite popular here, and can be had in lower budget price range of $250 or less. Personally, I prefer Echo in that range. Here's a link for an Echo Solo Outfit for $140, comes in 4-8wt.

TFO, Echo, St Croix, Sage, Winston, Orvis etc all make quality stuff with lifetime warranties. Really just depends on how much you want $$ you want to spend, and what casts best for you.. I think Basspro and Cabelas carries TFO rods. I've also have had good experiences ordering from
