There are some really nice basses on this thread.
Here is my Valenti #125.
First on the workbench.
And now the finished product.

Man! That came out looking nice! Great work brother.
I had one of those basses in red. It was the first new bass I bought myself back in the mid 90's.
A new DIY bass build. Custom Tele Bass. The single coil P and J pickup. Open grain black ash finish. About 95% finished. Lacking headstock decal and final finish up on the nut. (Will post this bass and story later on when 100% complete.)
^^^^^ Very Cool!

Ok, I hadn't seen this one before. Holy cow, that's fantastic! Great job replicating the cover art.... I've always been a fan of that cover. My dad used to have a book called "The Album Cover Album" and it had all these great shots of classic album cover art throughout. That was one I kept coming back to over and over.
If only I was a King Crimson fan....
Haha it is a cool piece of art, I kept that cover as my desktop background for a long time. look at some of the other work he did, there's a Jimmy Hendrix one on the first page, his face is made out of stars and galaxies

This is streching a bit, I know, but the body is a '75 Precision and it has a P-pickup (only reversed). Doublejazz as a bridge PU and an Allparts Telecaster neck.

Some more from the archives!
Charvel Model 3Bs (I think that's the right model no.). Neck through construction. I Sheehanized the black one with a DiMarzio Will Power Neck and Middle pickup set.
Finding these photos reminds me that I need to spend some time to dig up all the digital photos I have of past treasures...

Found another... Brand new Fender American Hot Rodded P-Bass, Orange with Rosewood. Purchased new at a Guitar Center "List Sale" for something like $400 (there used to be some amazing bargains during the GC List Sales).
Squier Precision Special. Upgraded with Kent Armstrong (WD) Hot Vintage pups, Gotoh 201 and new pots. Plays nice and sounds great. I've probably just sold it, though.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a pewter Squier P-Bass Special! Too bad you're "probably" selling it. Either way, I hope it finds a good home. Cheers!
This started life as a Lotus P/J - I defretted it and did a complete refin with multiple coats of tinted lacquer, as well as replacing the hardware and installing Fender black nylon tapewounds.
Here one more.
Where's the J? And what is that neck pu?
EDIT: quite the lovely bass though, don't get me wrong
