Valenti Silver PJ Five In Progress

KayCee · Feb 25, 2006

Yabba Dabbo Do!

Nino Valenti has been kind enough to send a few photos of the parts which have just arrived for my five-string.

The specs:

5-string (4+1 tuners)
Alder J Style Body
Inca Silver finish
Maple/Maple neck
White Block inlays and binding

Nordstrand NP5 neck pickup (18mm spacing)
Nordstrand Hum Canceling Fat Stack bridge pickup (18 mm spacing)

Aguilar OBP-3 preamp

Chrome Hardware
White/Black/White pickguard
No pickup covers

Hipshot B style bridge (18mm), chrome

HipShot Ultra Lite Tuning Keys
Schaller Straplocks

I prefer a narrower spacing, thus the 18mm, which should also keep the outer strings a little further from the edges of the fingerboard.

Thanks Nino!

I really like the white neck binding with the white pickguard.

Should be Wild :bassist:

! When do you hope to have it by?

BurningSkies · Feb 25, 2006

That looks GOOOOOOOOOoooooooood!

I like the maple/pearloid blocks sooooo much better than the black.

AB53211 · Feb 25, 2006

WOW! that's my fave Valenti so far! I hope to eventually get that bass except a 4 string and jazz pickups

jazzbo58 · Feb 25, 2006

Looking great!

Cheers,
Jim

Not quite sure when it will be done...I have the feeling that Nino's got a lot of business these days!

That's going to be absolutely gorgeous when it's done. Heck, it already is!

steve21 · Feb 25, 2006

That's beautiful.

Nicely done Nino!

Great looking bass.... love the Inca Silver.

Nice bass, yet again Nino.

I fully support Nino's ventures. He is quite wise.

Very nice. Someday, I will have me one of those. Hopefully next year.

Outstanding! Does Warmoth now offer white and/dor pearloid blocks and binding, or was that done separately?

KayCee · Feb 25, 2006

Yes, this is a fairly new Warmoth feature.

KayCee,

Very Nice!
Like your wood selections and you can't miss with the Nords & aggie setup.

Keep em' coming Nino.

Aj* · Feb 25, 2006

That looks awesome!

ArwinH · Feb 25, 2006

Looks amazing, I bet It'll melt some faces off with amazing tone. I always dug the pearl blocks more than the black blocks. Then again I dig Marcus more than rush

Please order a black pickguard with it for kicks, and so I could see a picture..........I think that would be hot!

Piedro · Feb 25, 2006

Wow.. beautiful..
i need to talk to Nino about is work!

i reaaaally dig his headstock design...

Oxblood · Feb 25, 2006
