We all knew this would be a "yes", didn't we?
Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass Daphne Blue - Pix of actual guitar sent from Sweetwater. Never found those smaller fingers, so didn't make much progress with the pink guitar yet, but my son got it a few months ago and was noodling around. Well... turns out Fender is doing a promo where you get a "free" Squier starter kit + a year of Fender Play (lessons/app.)
Should be here in a few days, but going to hold off until Satanmas, as this may be "my gift" from the fam. We shall see.
Probably need a bass amp (that cost more than this much-more-budget-friendly-than-a-PRS-guitar bass).
This thing is going to hold SOOOO many clothes.
