Sounds like you have the perfect teaching tool already.
A bass with a jacked setup.
Now just do a little reading and experimenting: http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/akcn...ide_ver100.pdf |

Even Guitar Center can do a setup (usually).

I was a Military Police Officer in the Army I want to thank you for your service. I wish I had a spare neck for you but I would be willing to help pay for a new neck if you have Paypal I could send some money.

However, it should more than suffice for a kid's first amp. Has an EQ and headphone output. Make sure he has a decent set of headphones. Your ears will be thankful. Reviews seem to be leaning toward not pushing the amp really hard.
