Still believing the children are our future!

There really is no better feeling for me than giving a child an instrument! It helps that the child is my younger step-daughter, Corey, and that she really appreciates it. She's an awesome kid, smart, quick study and sweet. Talented too! She plays violin, uke, sax and now a little bass. I'm enjoying playing the bass as well! Being primarily a guitarist, this thing is so easy to play.

This bass is the new Squier (by Fender) Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Special (short scale). It may be inexpensive but it plays and looks like way more than it cost! Right out of the box, perfect, well nearly. I'll still do a full set up, but it was set up well enough that we just tuned it up and started playing.

The only niggly things that I will have to correct are the back of the neck's skunk stripe needs a little sanding, the knobs weren't aligned and really, that's it! Even the strings are nice.

SO...Go Fender/Squier for making it easy to put a smile on a kids face (and mine too!). Go Corey for learning the bassline to Garbage Truck by Beck from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World so quickly! You rock!
