Love it!! Didn't know if it was more crimson stain or like a ruby red stain. It's beautiful!

I just rec'd an email from Nino and my bass is in the final stages of production! Needless to say, my level of excitement is thru the roof!!!

White and tort guard with Nordstrand p’ups and pre! It’s pretty standard considering all the options available, but that’s what I was going for!

I still dream of getting Nino to build me a copy of this bass:
SMJ5 #028 that he sent to me to test / review (review was on the old site and was lost in the transition). I didn't want to send it back!

...and it’s done! If it plays/sounds half as good as it looks, which I’m sure it will, it’ll be exactly what I wanted out of this build!!

Gotta love Olympic White... and you're gonna dig that B bridge! Nice choices... looks like a sweet bass.
#274 has landed in Nashville!!!
I haven’t had a chance to plug in yet, but damn I’m extremely impressed with the look and feel of it! The neck is my favorite part at the moment! Thin, smooth and fast!! I’m sure it will need some tweaks once it settles in, and I’m probably gonna put a set of my go-to DR Pure Blues on it, but I’m happy and can’t wait to spend some time getting everything dialed in!

Fantastic!! Congrats!!
Thank you! I played it thru my amp for about 25-30 min and the Nordstrand pups and pre sound fantastic! Very intuitive to dial in great j bass tones.
I definitely understand the hype around Nino and his basses! He was great to work with and the bass was delivered more than a month early from his original quoted lead time!
I liked the old Valenti headstock logo... but I REALLY like the new Valenti headstock logo.
They're both great... the old one is Sadowsky-ish... the new one is Fender-esque. You can't go wrong with either.
