Good idea, although most pawn shops don't offer good deals anymore, and decent short scale basses like a Squier Mustang or the Epiphone Allen Woody may be difficult to find, so maybe also look at your local Craigslist, plus ebay and Reverb.

Also, she shouldn't find a Jazz Bass neck too difficult to manage, either, and Squier or Fender (Mexico) Jazz basses are everywhere.
