My DD 14 would like a full size electric bass She currently plays the double bass in school orchestra and want to join the jazz band. I know nothing about instrument. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks

American Musical Supply has some good deals on guitars...

Most with free shipping and payment plans.

Have you tried Musician's Friend? Here's a link to a bunch of bass guitar "packs" they have on special right now.

Also, from their home page, there's something on there about cash back up to $150, depending on how much you spend...and there was also another note about saving money on "scratch & dent items." But I didn't read it all, so you'll have to review it...

Good luck!
