Great bass, great wife! You are a lucky man.

Since you have a Precision bass converted to fretless...is it now an APPROXIMATION bass?

“I do my best - she does the rest”

I’m in the same boat. I found a beautiful, smart, and caring woman. I do my best to keep her happy.

My parents have been having some medical issues so we left town last week to help them out. Just so happens my birthday was during this time. I had been looking at a P bass and the Mrs knew about it so she decided to surprise me with it by having it shipped to my dad's house. Yeah, I was surprised. Here's the pics...

The shop she bought it from listed it as a 74. Didn't look like a 74 to me, but I din't care because it's awesome and so is she. We both got curious and decided to take peek under the hood. This is what we found...

It has a fretless conversion which is quite nice. There's hardly any wear on the fingerboard and that A neck is fun to play. The case is in really good shape too.

I am always afraid that when I leave town my wife will significantly thin the herd instead of adding to it!
