Good grades and he's in the chorus at school.I am working on getting him a few lessons.Anything from lesson books to equipment will be appreciated.Thanks.Johnemail w/questionssalacrum@aol.com
mattb Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I may have an old bass amp in the garage if my band members didn't snag it.
Eric Weston Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 How is he set for the basics? ie. stand, strap, cables ect. I could probably help out there. Eric
JohnnyScarp Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks for the responses.He has a bass, bag, cable and strap. That's it for now.Again, anything from lesson books to equipment will be appreciated!John
elduave Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 E-mail me his address and I'll send him a Hal Leonard Bass Method 1 book.
Zoner Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I have a Peavey Micro Bass amp that is collecting dust. Let me know how to PIF and it's his. Z 612-703-3990
JohnnyScarp Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 THANK YOU GUYS!!Book and amp on the way.JohnBTW - the kid was in the office today volunteering. I gave him a little theory lesson. Very bright kid!He said he wrote 3 songs recently. Likes all music. Really enjoys rock. I told him he has a few things on the way. Smiles from ear to ear!
Zoner Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Johnny, I'll toss in a tuner that I have along with the amp so it sounds like he is set up pretty well for a beginner. I was gonna toss in a handful of picks but didn't want to encourage that kind of bad behaviour . Z
mattb Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Glad another amp popped up. I can't locate the one I was thinking of. I have a 70's Yamaha bass amp that's about the size of a Volkswagen. Don't really want to ship that one...

Bass Guy Dave Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I'll look around and see what i've got. Bet I can find a book or two and strings, mebbe.Best Wishes
JohnnyScarp Posted January 10, 2008 Author Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks to all who are helping! Your quick response and generosity is greatly appreciated.When everything arrives, he’ll have all he needs for a good start.John

Don't really want to ship that one...If you are able to get your hands on it, and still want to get rid of it, my step-son needs a bass amplicator, I'd be glad to give you some dough for it.
