Uh Oh! I'm in trouble

Came in my home office tonight and saw this.

Had to take a picture. She had the iTunes going and pretending she was playing!

Think I have a little competition in a coupe of years!

Sorry for the self indulgent dad post!

 

[Raven2k360]

She looks right at home with that thing (no pun intended)....better start those lessons!

Daughter with a J-Bass? Classic.

 

[TobyBass55]

Definitely looks like she's ready to follow in her daddy's footsteps and make him proud!

 

[elavate7]

she better play that think!!!! lol

 

[aws1963]

I better start saving now. She has Sadowsky taste.

Saturday morning, she asked if she could "be a bass girl" and I had adjusted the strap for her size. Everything was great until I heard Taylor Swift on the iTunes.

Thanks for the compliments guys. She's gonna be a handful for sure!

SX Short Scale Jazz. Never too early to learn an instrument!

A friend of mine (child psychology major and fellow musician) told me that a study showed that children that started to play an instrument before puberty are more likely to stay with it, and excel in math and reading. So hop to for your daughters good! Besides, it gives you an excuse to buy gear. All around win in my book.

That's really neat. I tried getting my girl interested in guitar and bass at that age with no success. She did play saxophone, flute, oboe though...
Enjoy, I bet it will be great for both of you...

One word - PRICELESS!

It's always a great thing when you as a parent can share the same interest in music with your child.

I owe it to my 17-yr-old son for inspiring me to take up the bass at the age of 52.

She looks serious about it thats for sure. She already has a "bass face"

My daughter is 18 months and I'm already excited for this day lol!

No kidding! Got that teenager "Leave me alone Dad" look down!

Now if I can just switch her from Taylor Swift to James Taylor we'll be just fine!

My kids have been baning on my basses since they were 2. Always want to play it. Got a drum set for the 4 year old, all they do at this point is bash.

If the bass playing doesn't work out,...she certainly has potential as a weightlifter.

hahah I was thinking the exact same thing.


And I hope your daughter does take it up (playing bass) because she obviously would get a head start in life hahah.

I can't wait to teach my nephew (he's only 1) he will be getting lessons all the time

No kidding. She's my little bruiser!

The competitive swimming has helped her strength for sure.

My policy is to let my kids try out any of my "toys" to see if there's an interest and encourage it whenever they want as long as they are respectfull of the equipment!

However, that might change when the Lakland US 4-94 Deluxe in Tobacco Sunburst shows up. !

+1, or any short scale of your choice

Good idea folks. I will give it a little longer just to make sure she really wants to.

Although, then again I could probably get this aquisition by Momma and add to the stable! Hmmmmmmmmmm! You guys are good!

 

[BassXgirl]

Hahaha That's awesome!
I've been trying to get my nephew interested in playing an instrument. He LOVES music and has obvious musical ability, timing,rhythm,singing, but so far not showing much interest in bass.
Go on proud papa!
