Extra special new arrival! Recommendations?

[Painy]

I am very happy to announce that my little girl Willow-Rose was born on Monday! Now, bearing in mind that she weighed 7lb 10oz, can anyone recommend a suitable bass to get her started?

[gary mac]

Congrats.

Lovely name, our little granddaughter is a Ruby Rose.

[andydye]

Daisy Rock of course, flower names are lovely and timeless :-)

Congratulations....

First bass....ahem.. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/213518-look-at-the-even-better-pics-1998-bass-collection-sgc-nanyo-sb301-in-metallic-pink-rare/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/213518-look-at-the-even-better-pics-1998-bass-collection-sgc-nanyo-sb301-in-metallic-pink-rare/[/url]

Congratulations! I think you should get a 7lb 10oz bass for yourself to mark the occasion ;-)

[Muzz]

Congratulations, lovely name...and for God's sake don't get her a Rick*****ker, we'll never hear the end if it...

[White Cloud]

Congratulations! Parenthood is awesome in it's awesomeness. This is a great occaision to be marked by the purchase of the bass that you really want.........

[Painy]

Hmmm..... daisy Rock could work. As much as I'd like to treat myself to a commemorative dream bass, that would probably involve a trip to Mr Shuker and parting with a rather substantial sum of money and with all available funds currently earmarked for a new more practical car (goodbye beloved Alfa) I think the missus may object. A small investment in her musical future however I can probably get away with!

[Lozz196]

Many congratulations, and what a lovely name.

[BassTractor]

Congrats! Try and get some sleep every second of the day.

Daisy Rock of couse, as mentioned, but don't forget the U-Bass - the thin version - no matter what Skej says.


Enjoy the times ahead!

best,
bert

Congaratulations and well done!

But don't get rid of the Alfa - we managed for 5 years to use a real Mini (with a roof rack) for me, the missus and two boys.
Keep the Alfa or give it to me.

Congratulations. Is this your first? If so, welcome to the world of NO SLEEP.

Are you sure you want her to have a musical future ? Why not try and steer her more towards the law or medicine ? Do you really want your precious daughter to end up as another burnt- out X Factor contestant with shattered dreams and who has no choice but to flaunt themselves for customers in a seedy lap dancing club to make a living , much like Discreet and myself are forced to do nowadays to make ends meet . If my Dad hadn't bought me a Squier Jazz Bass all those years ago things might have been very different .

Hmmm..... You could have a point. Perhaps I should just make her my new roadie instead. To be fair my Ampeg B500 combo alone without the extension cab weighs 96lbs to her 7lb 10 so she might struggle. Maybe spend the money on a sack barrow for her instead of a bass

[Gust0o]

Congrats, brilliant news

[steve-bbb]

congrats

show her a pic of a P and a J and see which she chooses for you

[SpaceChick]

Congratulations, but I'm going left field and saying buy her a drumkit.... then in years to come when you are struggling to find a good drummer to work with you'll have your own

[iconic]

..a bass uke'...maybe want to check paint finish for lead....you may of forgotten some nippers chew more stuff than a puppy!

My girl was born this year, what I have just done is ordered a brand new USA Fender for myself, that way she will have a birth year Fender to inherit one day in the future.
