fantasticsound Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Daisy Rock, which was developed by the wife of Schecter Research's CEO, I believe, was devised to sell quality instruments that might appeal to (and fit better in the hands of) young girls. That said, They seem to have some really cool LP-double cut clones. I haven't seen their basses. I don't think many people have had considerable exposure to these instruments, but I'd love to hear your impressions after playing one or two. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Tom Capasso Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Bass Player reviewed them sometime back. As I recall, their shape can be awkward for sitting. Other than that, they liked the quality and sound. They also had a young girl review it, and she liked it as well.

badgerbass Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I have looked at them and tried them in the store. They are short-scale basses designed for girls. They are not bad. One of them I looked at, and it might have been the guitar -I don't remember- had a really, really cheap, non-adjustable bridge. I'd say if they fit your requirements, they are worth a look. I would play before buying and make sure that any cheap hardware is upgradeable. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I actually saw one live in a music store in Kennewick, WA. Damn, that thing was small! Played it for a couple of seconds, but my hands were all jammed up. The neck is too thin and the strings too close together, and I just like a 35" scale. Probably a good choice if you are "spanned" challenged, and no one else knows it's a "girly" bass. Kinda like riding a moped.

The Fonz Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 this is a rising trend in guitar making: short scale instruments for girls. most of the big name female artists have at least one instrument adjusted for scale. maybe slaeter-kinney will have a bass player now? Eeeeeehhhhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it on the wall when I was checking out a BRG Brawley 5 string and a Peavey TNT 115. The guy working strings gave me a funny look.
