On your fretting hand, sure! Doing the two-finger pluck was harder to get used to than I had ever imagined, though. I still can't sing and play bass at the same time. My bandmates give me shit for it regularly.
By the way you guys, I played the Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner at my show last night, and I don't think I've ever had that much fun playing a Strat. So much feedback, both resonant and microphonic. DELICIOUS. Pics (and possibly a recording) to come.

Little known fact, Sting actually has a secondary brain in his tail to control his singing. That's how he got his nickname.

So... I got the bass package. Squier Affinity Jazz bass and Rumble 15 amp, with bag, strap, tuner, cable, headphones, and instructional dvd for $249. Not too shabby, I'd say. I'm trying to avoid the bass section of TGP as hard as I can, so I don't return it and get something that costs 4x as much. :)
In other news, my son got his first guitar at the same time - an Ibanez Mikro. That little thing kicks some serious ass! Obviously the short scale is not that great (22" I think), but the parts and build quality are both very impressive. Definitely not a toy guitar! I'm thinking it will be my travel guitar, if he ends up not playing long-term. Heck, even if he does, we'll just take turns!

That looks like a sweet Ibanez to start out on, and could be a great backup if he graduates to a bigger guitar.
Also, I'm probably going to piss some people off, but I always felt Sting was the weak link in The Police. His bass playing is kind of meh to me and now that the 80's are a long way off I really have to say his voice always sounds like a forced falsetto.

I really need a job. Cheap offsets, and now Fender's making an MIM Cabronita. Hoooo' shiiii'.
