| | | | Great looking instrument, Mr. Valenti does excellent work.
And you know something...If it plays like you want it to,and feels just right..then it IS absolutely the greatest bass ever made! |

|  | Fan of the New Orleans Saints | | | | I think some of you are taking the title a little to literal. 
As far as the color, its beautiful. I dig red though! The bass really pops in person. The photos do not do it justice.
The tone in all three settings is unreal. All are very usable! The neck feels great and the overall build quality is excellent!

His headstock design is my favorite Fender inspired headstock.
Thank you all for the compliments!

|  | **** | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: west coast | | | You've got good taste. That bass is so well executed. Given the sizzling CAR finish, Nordy pole-pieces, double string trees and bright maple board the decision to go without markers, pickguard and a simple/classic control layout is just outstanding. You see so many basses similar to this with blocks, perloid and excess chrome, IMO it really detracts from the functional beauty.

If you can't tell, I like simplicity. Passive electronics, no pg/chromeplate, and no fret markers.
