NBD: The Mrs pulled a fast one on me

[Dan Knowlton]

Yes, yes it is.

Well, that is MY playing on my fretless...although I am getting better!

No bass practice this week - I am playing drums at church on Sunday and the music is difficult since I play mostly bass. Next week I'll be back on bass.

Holly cow .. by the title I was thinking that your misses sold one of your basses but I was pleasantly surprised to see she picked you up a total babe of a bass.

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 have one, a 72. it weighs a ton but sounds so good. it was the same as this one, sunburst with a maple neck. the neck is now on my 62 p and the 72 is now black with the 62 neck. they're my goto basses. the 62 is twangy, the 72 is sharp. both play great.

Fortunately, this one weighs in at 9lbs with the covers. My 77... 11lbs.

Wives can be pretty dang sneaky!!

My wife purchased a Jackson 5er I was considering in a pawn shop window many years ago.
Come my birthday and there it was in my living room!! Pretty rockin'!

She also just agreed that I needed a new GK Fusion 800 210 combo! Just got off the phone w/ Sweetwater!
OBOY!! Early Christmas!!
