I'm gonna give away my squier affinity jazz

I'm going to give it away for free to a sweet 14 year old girl who is a member of my church. She wants to play the bass (not that i'm any good) because she likes the way I play on sunday.

The crazy thing is, she's a natural drummer who always fills in when our drummer is running late. Even when our drummer comes in late, he usually lets her kepp playing.

I'm gonna give her my bass once my new bass arrives. Here's the one I'm gonna get.

The fact is, I'm never gonna be a superstar, I only gig (for free) 2 nights a week at church and so I only need one bass, and with the jazz bass, all I use to do was ride the bridge pick up anyway. Also, from P I came, from P I will return. I'm going back to my P bass roots, and still be able to ride the bridge. Thats what i'm gonna do. ;)
 
Thanks, I mean I had Fenders, Ibanez basses, and went through my pedal phase, and wasted a lot of money on this journey.

Now, I'm just doing what makes me and other people happy. I don't need a $1000 super bass, just a good solid quality bass will do.

I'm feeling good. ;)
 
you have your first fan! i gave my squier j to my little bro he is 12 and we jam bass together lol its fun playing with another bassist it helps when they look up to you as well.

karma my friend
 
She'll love it so much....I gave someone a bass, and it was worth it to see the reaction of someone getting their first bass....that same day I got a brand-new Fender P for less than $300. Good deeds supply good deeds, It will come back to you.
 
I was having a really bad day at work until I just read about your generosity. Now everything seems in place again. You may never know just how much your act of kindness will affect this girl but that is what makes this kind of act priceless. I applaud your unselfishness. Peace always. JP
