The Valenti Megathread Part IV
- Thread starter smperry
- Start date
Adam, Love the color combo. That bass is stunning. If it plays or sounds anything like my Valenti VTPJ5, you will not be disappointed. But you already know all about Nino's work.
The only thing I would change...is that FC Dallas badge I keep seeing in the left corner of the thread. Ha.

So, this is what I'm thinking...
An STJ5
With the following Specs:
35 inch scale
Alder Body
60's Spacing
Maple Neck/Fingerboard (No Inlays/Dots)
Hipshot B Bridge/Tuners
Nordstrand Big Splits (wired Passive)
Stainless Frets
No Neck Plate
I'm not sure what finish I wanna go with yet. I've been considering White and maybe going with black hardware. I also like the idea of a blue of some type? Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Also, Nino's maple fingerboards are finished to avoid any blackening, right?
Thanks!

Anyone heard from Nino? I've sent a couple of Emails about my possible build and haven't heard anything.

Talked to him on the phone today; he's alive and well...my emails from him usually hit around 11am-ish, central time.

Cain't do it.
Top secret juju.

I'll post pix, as things progress. I put the first ones up some posts back.

Yea, I'm guessing it's something to do with email problems?
I wasn't having any trouble with communication until now. I see his facebook page is really active, so I've sent him a message there. Hopefully we can get this thing rolling. I'm ready to get my bass done ASAP!
