The Valenti Megathread Part IV

[bassnyc1]

Thanks. The inspiration was from my Grandfather who always had pinstripes on his cars. We were very close and he passed away the year before I commissioned Nino to build my bass. (He was 95!) I'm also a fan of the body binding on Rickenbackers (the look, not the actual sharp edge) so when Nino told me it was possible, I went for it!

"licensed vs usa hipshot tuners"

I think I'm pretty discriminating in most things.
I haven't noticed a big difference between the two, really.

Just received #129 yesterday, was able to spend 3 hours with it and I'm just amazed and what Nino is able to to. Every aspect of this bass is 10/10.
Thanks again to Bglosh for a great transaction

You know we're going to want pictures, sound files, dibs, and get to borrow it asap. But pictures first.

Another wonderful bass built by Nino. A modern interpretation of the early 1966 Fender Jazz. It far exceeds all my expectations!

WOW!!!
