Well my custom Valenti #20 arrived today. I have been playing it for the last couple of hrs. it has ton, tone and more tone.
I have however been playing it in single coil mode for the most part. The wenge neck is smooth and fast, a little thick at first but that's compared to my F Bass, which I play 90% of the time. Overall it feel quite comfortable.
Nino did an excellent job, I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
I need to go play it some more, but I'll be sure to give a review once I become more familiar with the electronics on it.
I case you don't know here are the specs:
Swamp Ash body
Swamp Ash body with Natural finish
Wenge Neck with black laminate headstock face
Wenge Board
Nordstrand DC5’s Dual Coil pickups
Aguilar OBP-3
Black Hardware
Hipshot A Style Bridge
Hipshot Ultralites Tuners
Schaller Strap Locks
Strings Sadowsky Bright Nickel
The bass has what has become know as the Poon layout:
1-Volume w/p/p for preamp bypass
2-Blend
3-Treble w/p/p for Neck position P/U for Humbucker mode to Single Coil mode
4-Mids with w/p/p for Mid Shift
5-Bass w/p/p for Bridge position P/U for Humbucker mode to Single Coil mode
