I've played probably five different Valenti basses over the past few years...each one was fantastic.

Staff Reviewer; Bass Gear Magazine Moderator | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Columbia MO | | | 1) I just dig the vibe
2) I can't tell you what it does sonically, compared to a same spec solid body, as it's not here yet. I presume it "rounds it off a bit."

Staff Reviewer; Bass Gear Magazine Moderator | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Columbia MO | | | I initially spec'd a tort guard.
Nino sent me several photos of wood choices for both the top, and the body proper.
I made my choices, but, I didn't think the grain was gonna look as good as it came out....so I dropped the pickguard.
