I've always loved J basses and Leo's overall design and I always wanted to have a quality J bass built. I've owned two of Nino's basses in the past and both were high quality but weren't me. I was going for a more modern design of a J bass and Roscoe Beck signature J:  
I'm very happy with the look of the bass. Classic, yet modern. I'm excited to see the possibilities with the pickups and the switching.
Here's the pics:  
This is one of my favorite ones. Nino's wiring is so tight!

Staff Reviewer; Bass Gear Magazine Moderator | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Columbia MO | | | Valenti #062 popped up in classifieds the other day.
It's sort of a "51P5" kinda thing.
I'd seen it go thru BassNorthwest, and trade once here.
I couldn't pass on it this time.
It's en route back to Nino to get a 51 pick guard and control plate, that will have volume and tone (versus just tone as it is now) and a football plate output jack on the side.
Nord "stacked" single coil, 7.75lbs.
It'll be a few weeks before it gets back to me. I'll post pix of the transformation.....

Nice score.
I had my sites on it as it was local. Pm me if it doesn't work out for you.
