Hey Nino, you couldn't do a four string jazz with a double route for the neck pickup & a pair of pickguards so as to allow swapping between a P and J pickup, could you?

Sure, I've done it before.

 

[jasonbraatz]

Well, that's good (for me) and bad (for my checkbook / marital relations.) I'll be in touch soon.

I'd like to thank Mr Valenti for his attention to detail. I ordered a bass from him I can assure you this man is very good at what he does. I can't freakin wait to play that bass.

I don't know about you Niño but when someone calls me mr I turn around and look to see if my dad is around. Good work!

Hey everyone, I'm VERY excited to soon becoming a Valenti bass owner. I just sent my deposit in for my dream build. I'm married with 2 kids so saving money for a new bass, let alone a custom build isn't easy. I've been slowly saving for 2 years; all the while searching here on TB and elsewhere for the person to build my dream bass and I'm so confident that I've made the right choice! Here are my specs:

Passive VTJ5
Alder Body w/white Binding
Rear Rout
Black finish
Graphite reinforced Maple neck
Maple fretboard
Pearl Blocks w/white binding
Vintage Tint finish
Gloss headstock and board, satin on back of neck
35" scale, 12" Radius, 1-7/8 nut width, .780" @ 1st fret, 6130 frets
Spoke Sheel T-rod adjuster
BWB & WBW pickguards w/additional black screws
Nordstrand NPJ5S set
Reverse P
J in 70's location
Traditional J knobs
VVT or VBT (haven't decided yet)
Input on Control plate
Chrome Hardware
HipShot Ultralite tuners
HipShot String retainers
BadAss V bridge (supplied by me)
Dunlop Dual Design straplocks

When I go home in December, I'll be picking up the bass in person at Casa Valenti. What a Christmas present!!!

 

[Firesalt]
