The Valenti Megathread (Mk. II)

Almost done:
Wow Nino. I can't believe it's almost done. You work fast dude! I thought maybe late July into September. She looks better than I thought she would. That neck is gorgeous and the body is beautiful. Plus, those electronics are clean and the EMG's are gonna be killer! There's a chance I may have to have wrist surgery at the end of the month due to a work injury so it may be a month or two before I get to break her in but in the meantime it'll be a nice art piece next to my amp.
Thanks for the pics man!

Gorgeous bass. 
As we all know, there is that crucial early break-in period with Nino's
basses. In order to bloom to their full resonance potential, they need to
be lovingly played for several hours a day in a variety of styles.
I am certain I am not alone in offering to help. I'd bet many other
Valenti players will gladly lend a hand for a brother.

I just finished my band's rehearsal with Valenti #27 P/J 5, and I have to say that it is quite the instrument.
Having had many, many great basses, I feel safe in saying that Nino's work compares favorably with the finest builders out there. Great feal, great weight, super tone - and I haven't even slapped my preference of strings on there yet!
Great work Nino! This will not be my last Valenti.

Huh. Possibly too subtle on the front face surface? I mean I get it that not everyone wants their relic to look thrashed, and too many relic-ers go way overboard; but it took me a minute to realize that this one was actually relic'ed at all. Just a thought.
well i think its ibanezcollector's bass so he might've still wanted the whole new thing for his custom bass

Well as Nino found out the hard way.. You need very very good lighting and a lot of photos to properly show all the little nuances of a relic.
This is my personal bass and since its not of a say stock vintage arrangement the odds of it looking like that would be highly unlikely. So I went with some moderate roadwear versus 50 years of aging..
Again to see all the little details you will need alot of pictures. Here is some of the bass when I was finished with the paint and relic work.

I will have proper pics and lots of them with a review and some soundclips and more then likely a few videos tommorrow when I recieve it WHICH I AM GOING TO EXPLODE due to the gas pains haha..
