I knew my idea for this pic would work, I am glad I took it.

 

[Nino Valenti]

You crazy guys.... LOL!!!

I wanted to build myself a Graphite necked bass a few years ago so I talk to Jerry at Graphite Guitar Systems but the cost to build one neck was far too expensive...

Time warp to last weekend's GTG and I mention this and people were coming out of the woodwork... "Graphite? Really?"

It's a though. It's something I may consider as a limited run or something if there is enough initial interest.

Nino, that is an awesome picture! The red bass with the blocks really does it for me. As usual, impress work with all the basses.

I spec'd it out and Nino hit it out of the park!

Lovin that bass Chef. Can't wait for some progress pics of my own. Pretty much gonna be the vintage version of your new arrival.

Playing it right now.
Badass.
Might need to ad VTC later, make sure you get that up front.
This mutha is *edgy*, and I'm pulling reble back at the M9 right now.

Funny you mention that. Mine is actually going to be passive. And without all that fancy black hardware

 

[Chef]

Ah...then you'll have VTC

I've been a big fan of shell pink ever since I saw Dweezil Zappa's strat. Please tell me the dude's gonna put a tort on that! Looking forward to loading a pic of that P-Bass on my iPhoto. YIKES! That pair of P's right there is easy on the eyes Nino.
