Coffee mate, Nino? I figured you for a black coffee kinda guy, and I figured there'd be a bottle of Single Malt by the workbench!

I can't drink coffee without Coffee-Mate, hazelnut preferred. Speaking of which, I left my cup upstairs!!!! 
That bottle is filled with water for my soldering iron's sponge.

Here is a fretless 5 in the works for a customer. I believe he's a TBer but I don't remember:
Finally another fretless Valenti! Looks mighty slick too

Thanks, i needed a good laugh! That bass sounds GREAT. I hope mine sounds that good
That guy must really know his positions really well to play w/ a shirt over his head on that fretless. And interesting coughing additions at the end. I'm not sure really what to think of it.
But that doesn't look like a fretless at all...frets seem fairly prominent.
Doesn't detract from his great knowledge of positions....or great tone.

On another note - my Valenti is the only bass (or guitar) I own that needs a different wrench for the truss rod (i.e. it's not a hex wrench connection)....what wrench or "bent" screwdriver am I looking for?
Thanks - Jay
Those are some awkward noises... is that Neal Hamburger playing?
Awesome tone... rockin' Valenti!
