Those photos look great. I'm so glad you're enjoying it. This bass was well traveled, but now even moreso. 
Re: Fretless 4000?
Its a sweetheart….now I just have to come up with an appropriate name to cement our long term relationship!
I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to get this bass from you….and one of the best parts, is that I am really a single p/u bass player. I have always struggled with excessive knobs and switches. I was always more comfortable with P’s or other single pickup basses. You conversion seems brilliant to me!
Thats probably why in the old days I was always an Ampeg guy. Loved the Baxandall tone stack simplicity.
I am starting to think that the PJB double 4+, tiny though it is, has an equally intuitive and effective eq setup…….at least for me!
Thanks again!!!

Hmmmm…a possibility! But flighty has birdbrain connotations…the stereotyped dumb blonde!
I have a very nice luthier built classical guitar made from maple, spruce, and spanish cedar. Its very blonde, so I call her Blanche (blonde in french)
Maybe Frivola, spanish for flighty?
