Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I managed to get one of these on ebay for my 12 year old daughter's xmas pressie - a daisy rock stardust elite 32" scale bass. It should be delivered tomorrow. She's been after this exact bass for ages as her purple daisyrock heartbreaker is uncomfy to carry and she isn't allowed to taker her lilac '71 musicmaster out of the house. Its so pretty I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself (not sure what my bandmates would say though ) Not bad for £220 & listed as new [url="http://www.daisyrock.com/products/basses/elite_bass.htm"][url="http://www.daisyrock.com/products/basses/elite_bass.htm"]http://www.daisyrock.com/products/basses/elite_bass.htm[/url][/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 She's not really got any bass heroes, but she does seem to enjoy playing the blues & soul things that I've been teaching her so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayfan Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Nice. I'm tempted to buy one for my daughter. She's only three though. Prob a bit too soon - although she is very interested in playing my guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't know how to look at completed listings so doesn't know I put in an offer. - I'm having it delivered to the office so she won't see it.

They look cool, in a quirky way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Well the hasn't turned up yet. I'm sure it was supposed to be one day delivery, but maybe it hasn't been sent yet. I'll give it a few days before chasing it up. In the meantime here's a closeup I found by googling I love the les paul jnr doublecut shape & It looks like the violetburst will be less "pinky" than the other pic I found on the Daisyrock web site. mmm - When it arrives I might have to 'forget' to give it to the little 'un and keep it for myself...

Buzz Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 That's got such a glam-rock vibe about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionbassist1 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm sure she'll be going mental christmas day. If only we all had that kind of encouragement as youths, it seems to have worked pretty well for Victor Wooten hasn't it !!! We'll have to keep an eye out for your daughter as the next big thing then I suppose Burpster's right about them not beign taken seriously because they're aimed at girls, that's like saying BC Rich shouldn't be takens seriously because they're aimed at a specific heavy rock audience. I never played a Daisy Rock tho, haven't heard much crap about them tho I must admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure bootsy would love it - it almost looks like is should have a mu-tron III circuit built in (mmm... there's an idea ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 That's such a gorgeous little bass. I'd definitely gig with one. Too bad my daughter's a g*it*rist. Where did I go wrong? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 That latest pic, makes it look like a scaled down, slighty pink and spangly, PRS....... F**k me, its [size=4][b]really[/b][/size] pretty isn't it! I wish I had an excuse to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
