    Update 7/3
    Just picked it up from the Mother In Law. It's very nice!. Pictures and first impressions Here On Page 2.

    From 6/7...
    So A Daisy Rock will be coming home courtesy of Mother in Law's quick thinking at a garage sale.
    It's alot of pink: pink strings, pink cable and leopard print strap! Not sure if I'll save it for my daughter or flip it. Full report when I get it which should be in a couple weeks. Comes with a Hardshell too, though it's not pink.

    Does your daughter want to play bass?
    If so, put some good strings on it, maybe GHS black tapewounds, and give it a good setup.

    Dang, I was really hoping for the flower or heart model. Nice score nonetheless.

    Wait until she asks you to order the exact instrument, except from Fodera. :D

    No idea. She's 5. It would be a bit before she'd be ready for this one. She'd love the pink strings though!

    Thanks. Flower would be fun. I was hoping for a short scale but this is 34".
    Heaven help me that girl probably will.

    I actually had a uke bass and occasionally my son would play with it but I sold it when he was 5 and she was 3.

    I'm probably wouldn't but I take 2 basses to each gig and I'm considering taking it just to see the look on the band leaders face when I pull it out of the case.

    So did your mother-in-law say if Bobby Dall was much of a haggler? :smug:

    You are a lucky lucky man! The only way she could have done better is if it was this one:

    I don't know, this one might give that one a run for the money:

    I've always wanted to get a Daisy Rock and turn it into a metal machine - swap in crazy high output pickups, put on a Floyd Rose or maybe Traben SonicArt bridge, etc. .

    Funny thing is I’ve played shows where guitarist in other bands would break out like a hello Kitty guitar at a metal show for a song or two lol

    That really does deserve to be gigged, leopardskin strap and all. :laugh: The pink strings are an aftermarket bonus.

    Daisy Rock guitars and basses are actually quite decent sounding besides being just flat out cool. DRG president Tish Ciravalo designed the first models and took it to Michael Ciravolo, (her husband) who is the president of Schecter Guitar Research for vetting. So it’s not like they’re toys. Tish is a rocker from way back. Started in guitar but shifted to bass. She’s one of us.
