[LilRay]

Awesome work Nino. I'd love to see a P/J 5 in Blueburst on flame maple w/maple neck.

Keep the shots rolling, GAS is sure to get the best of me.

Later R.

So... here's a nice story. I receive Vinny D's neck and body....

...and as soon as I see it, I notice something isn't right. I look over my order form, I look over my email's from Vinny and there you have it... I ordered the wrong body shape. I restrain myself for throwing hte body out the window (LOL) and order the correct body .... so here is it:

As much as I LOVE that color, I can only afford ONE bass at the moment!
Now this means someone else is going to have a bass done up in my custom color that I selected

 

[Chef]

Great color; someone gonna get a sweet P/J outta dat...

Personally, I prefer the J bodied P/J, YMMV, etc.

 

[Vinny D]

Right now there's only one neck. The neck for the J body will most likely have a Pau Ferro fretboard and either a Tort or Mint Green p/g so the color scheme won't look exactly like yours.

 

[Vinny D]

Don't do anything with the J-body.....I may want that one also

 

[Nino Valenti]

I just completed basadicct's bass:

 

[Chef]

I dig the blacked out back of the neck...what finish is on there and howz it feel?

 

[Nino Valenti]

Wenge neck. The back of the neck is raw.

 

[Chef]

nice!

 

[Wadge]

Nice, I like wenge necks. Usually I like them mixed up with maple or other wood to break things up but I bet it feels lovely under the fingers and palm.

I have a wenge and maple neck on my tobias toby pro and its by far the non-stickiest neck I've played.

 

[steve21]

Wenge/wenge is sick.

 

[capnsandwich]

That bass is sweet. I know it'll play just as good as it looks too.
