Hey all, first post. I'm a 48 year old singer, guitar and occasional bass player, work as a music minister/worship leader at a church. Bass was actually my first instrument. But enough about me, I have a 15 year old son who is learning to play bass, which is as exciting for me as when I learned myself back in the day. A few years ago I bought him a short-scale Squier Jaguar Bass, and for the money, it has a great tone. But, at 15, my boy is 6'3" with long arms and pretty good sized hands, so I decided it was time for a long scale as well. My local music store just got this Squier Classic Vibe 50's P-bass and my son just went straight to it. He played others but just kept coming back to this one. He liked the slightly fuller neck profile. I've been a fan of the CV series, I have one of the original Classic Vibe Teles that is a great guitar for the money. Anyway, here are a couple of pics along with the Jag bass and his Fender Rumble amp.

Thanks! My daughter is a music education major in college and has a beautiful singing voice and is learning guitar and piano as well. I'm proud of both of them.
