This is my take on what I'd order if funds permitted.... All black, Ebony board. Gold pole pieces. It's a shame they don't offer wood suggestions for the body etc, or a least some weight parameters etc.

A huge thanks for all those providing suggestions and taking the time to post links etc. It reminds me why I joined the forum way back in 2007; it's such a helpful and friendly community. For those interested, I've gone ahead and placed an order for one of these Ibanez models https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/gsrm20_2y_06.html. Although it will take a couple of months to arrive I am sure she will absolutely love it! Whilst not available in first choice colour pink, purple has been confirmed as being a "second best colour" - so all good there! The plan will be to see how she does, then move onto a full-size body / weight / scale length version in a few years time; much like I did when I started the double bass around the same age. I will update again once it's arrived and I've set it up. Thanks again, Greg

I think 38mm would suit hand stretch much better

That's the one I had initially focused on as she'd dig the purple. I had seen mixed reviews online so glad to hear positive comments here. Would anyone know appropriate weight?
-
30 scale would be better I feel. I will have a look at the weight of the Gretsch as it ticks lots of boxes.

Hi all, My daughter's progressing really well with recorder, and keeps self-motivated and really focused on practicing. She's always shown an interest in my collection of basses, and recently she's expressed an interest in learning bass. She naturally struggles playing my 34" scale instruments so I am seeing what's available for 'sensible' money, let's say sub £400. There are a lot of short scales on the market, but she does not want a bass the same colour a my dull/dark/brown ones. Ideally she likes pink, but would be happy with similar colours. I've seen the Bronco and the Ibanez Mikro, both of which receive mixed reviews, but I can't see much else out there in colours she might like. White would be ok, as she could choose a flashy looking strap. I've given her the lecture about tone before colour, but... (Rolls eyes) Ya know, at 8 and a half, colours are almost as important. Any links gratefully received.

Looks great and highly portable. I too use a cahon bag similarly, really easy setup and pack down too!

I'd say no, it's far too quiet for that in my experience.

Hi Richard I use one, and you're more than welcome to try mine if you like - I am Hampshire based. It won't add to your overall volume, rather adds to clarity of note. Positioning is key, and I use a mic stand to get nearer my head height. For me, I don't really notice it when it's on, but seem to notice it when I don't use it. Hope this helps, Greg

Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor Pedal Overview The Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor has been made for bassists looking for a compressor that increases sustain, accentuates picking and can evens out fast runs. Its simple layout means anyone can use the Studio Bass Compressor: The Blend knob lets you to adjust the amount of wet signal allowing natural "snap" back into your individual notes. The Volume knob controls the output, the Attack regulates how fast the compressor responds to picking and plucking and the Compressor knob controls the dynamic range. The Low/Full/Mid switch determines the frequency content of the dry signal being blended in with the compressed signal so you can bring back your dynamic range. This stops your bass from sounding over-compressed. This is a massively versatile pedal that is suitable for players across a range of styles. Seymour Duncan has a fully comprehensive list of suggested settings for different genres and sounds.
