Basses for Kids

Hey guys,

I come to you for much needed advice once again. I'm going to start giving really really basic bass lessons to my drummer's daughter. She isn't very old, 7 I think and is pretty small. I had her try and press down on the strings from my bass and although she was able to do it, its takes quite a bit of effort.

Basically what I'm looking for is a small scale bass she would be able to begin on. I know that guitars come in short scales but I'm not so familiar with short scale bass models.

So does anyone have any ideas as to which companies I should be looking at, or which models might be appropriate?

I appreciate all of your input guys,

Thanks
