[quote]Not too good on this being a bloke, but one lady bass player I vaguely knew had a bass collection[/quote] Yes, I knew some female friends who also played Bass Collections which is what gave me the idea.

I have just started teaching my wife bass guitar. She seems to be really enjoying it but its early days. She is about 5'6" and fairly petit and has so far been playing my chunky Jazz bass. I would like to surprise her for Xmas maybe by buying her a bass. I am thinking that something pretty slim, light, thin neck and ideal for a female player. Working from memory, these are the few that spring to mind that might be suitable, 1. Fender Precision Lyte 2. Bass Collection 3. Warwick Rockbass Streamer 4. Warwick Rockbass Corvette Most of those are around £200 with some having to maybe be secondhand. My concern with the Bass Collection and Warwicks though is they don't have fret markers on them. Not sure if this would make learning much harder. Any thoughts on these bass's for a female starting out and any other thoughts or recomendations?? Thanks for the help.
