A couple  had a teenage son who decided that he wanted to play the bass guitar, so Dad had a search online and found him a tutor. He called up to arrange the first lesson and, after booking a slot, asked the tutor "One thing that's worrying me. Musical instruments can be very expensive, especially the electric ones 'cos  don't you need an amplifier as well? I'm just worried that he's going to have a go for a few weeks then decided he doesn't like it, and I'll be stuck with some expensive kit. Will he need his own bass and amp straight away?"



"No, don't worry, "replied the tutor. "I'll provide everything he needs for the first few lessons. Then if he really shows some talent and is enjoying it you can start thinking about buying him his own guitar."



Well, when the tutor turns up for the lesson he brings his own bass and, for the pupil, a piece of 4x2 wood about 3'6" long. There's a screw in either end and stretched between them is a piece of bungee cord. A piece of string is tied between two screw-in eyelets, one at one end and one halfway along the plank to act as a strap.



"This is your axe," says the tutor. "It's tuned to E, so it's like the top string of a bass, and you can use it to get the hold right and try  some top-string exercises."

So the lesson starts and the son has a great time and really shows some talent. At the end the tutor says "I think you've got the makings of a really good bass  player. No pressure, but give me a ring if you want another lesson."

Then the tutor doesn't hear from the boy for a fortnight, so eventually he phones up and says to him "Hi, it's your tutor here. I was just calling to follow up on your bass lesson. I thought you did really well, and I'm a bit surprised you haven't wanted another, so I was just calling to see if we could arrange something. Is Thursday evening any good?"

And the boy replied "Sorry, can't make Thursday. I've got a gig."
