Bass: The Next Generation?

I was surprised when my daughter, who is a singer, decided to pick up my Acacia Custom 4 and started to play. Maybe I'll just give to her for her birthday.

That's Neo. I call her (my bass) that because she is "The One". When I got her, I sold an Alembic, a '74 P Bass and a Stenberger. As soon as I played it the others looked feeble. Only bass I own for years now.

Yeah. I am trying to teach her the realities of being in a band. Being multi-talented would really help her.

A female singer-bass player, assuming she's moderately good at both, would have NO trouble getting gigs. Ever.

Is that a 34" scale? It looks like it fits her pretty well.

16 year olds of the world unite!

Wish more of the girls in my grade would pick up bass, and not just think of it as "that thing that Bill plays, right?"...

Yeah. I was thinking about sourcing her an SR505. A fiver is pretty much a necessity for the stuff she likes.
