Valenti

I've seen and played this one--light as a feather, kicks like a mule, and the finish is absolutely stunning.....in addition I can say Kirk is a class act and a great guy to deal with

I sold this bass to Kirk. (nice guy)
Killer bass.
If it had a P-style neck I would have kept her.(Sounds great)
