I adhere to a strict policy of "Get this from my cold, dead hands will you ever get this bass."

Its not a good idea to loan out you equipment. Even if you trust the person a lot, accidents can happen.

Feels good helping another develop musical interest. I'll give some guidelines for playing, check em out in a little while. If things are going good, then teach songs...etc. then suggest gear.
Feels good.

I'm always there if it's my Geddy Lee, but if it's the ESP I don't feel that I have to be there. They never ever leave the school with anyone else but me.
