Never wait until you need a bass to buy it. Tell her you need to be prepared.

I had this one at home a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I reviewed it.

Then there is this beauty, made by Australian (well actually, he's French Canadian but has lived here for years) luthier Phil Mailloux.  Yours, for a touch over $2K ....

I could easily go for one of those Eastwoods!  The Mosie platform works well with a sixer.

Got my first 6-string bass in 1990, a Jerry Jones Longhorn. Followed by a Fender VI reissue in the mid 90s. Currently own a different JJ Longhorn, a Gretsch(modded to lefty), and an SX short-scale 4-string I converted to 6.
