Beautiful instrument!
I want one of those too but I once owned a black on black car.....U know the saying, the happiest 2 days of my life were the day I got it and the day I sold It! Always obsessing over dust and paint swirles.
11 string - F# - B - E - A - D - G - C - F - X - Y - Z - - - Seriously tho: When I want to locate EADG I whip out my Fender Jazz ;-)

Wait, how does this song start again??
Fender American 2006 - But I'm about to put a wenge neck with a bloodwood fretless fingerboard on it - - - Although after seeing your Valenti beauty I might look for a birdseye maple fretted fingerboard
Here's my basses!
1 - 99 Mex Jazz bass standard, modded with a bartolini mm pickup in the bridge. Used to have an OBP, but now passive.
2 - CIJ Mustang bass with competition stripes. This was an engagement gift to me from my wife. Great little bass.
3 - Harley Benton JB40FL. Wannabe Jaco bass, has the mwah so I like it.
4 - Yamaha BB735a. Newest bass in the collection, love it!
5 - Pitbull guitars 5 string. It lives at school (I'm a teacher), passive 5er J bass. Does the job well.
6 - Squier VM P-J bass. Also lives at work. Gives me P and J tones when I need it, also does the job nicely.

My basses from left to right: Custom Alpher Mako Elite 4, MTD Norm Stockton Saratoga and Lakland 55-94 deluxe.
What's that gadget on the tripod behind the black beauty?
True, you are correct about the Aerodyne being a fingerprint magnet BUT that's what polish cloths are for
.... I'll trade tone for fingerprint marks any day of the week

Looks like an oil diffuser. My wife has them in different rooms in our house.

Very nice!! That combo; shell pink/rosewood will likely be what I go with on my next custom. Gonna go with Nino again. Will be something along these lines.
Alder body / maple neck / rosewood fretboard
Shell Pink finish
35" scale
Chrome Hipshot B bridge (19mm spacing at bridge) and tuners
Nordstrand NJ5 pickups and 3b preamp
Not sure what I want the p/g to be. That tort looks very nice!
that sounds awesome!…..a guitarist friend of mine suggested a Custom Shop….I hadn't had a Fender in over 30 years…initially bought for the "cool" factor, but it plays really good, great neck.
Great collection. One of just about everything. I like the stingray without the pickguard and the sunburst under the white.View attachment 2896255 All my children……...
