i think a lighter background would bring out the bass more

Congratulations Valentino!  So many great instruments to show, yet long overdue.

I love this bass, even changed my wallpaper this month! Well, I can't do anything about the carpet, it is what it is. But just for you, Jeff, here it is on a white background.  
 
Enjoy!

Wow.  I want Val to design one for me.  I probably will need Santa Claus to pay for it though.  Nice bass.  Niiiiiice bass.

That is a stunning work of art! Absolutely breathtaking! Love the 5 point body shape, the tailpiece, the continuous coco everything....

Quite outstanding for an all around good guy.  Val, this is even better than the perfect woman, no need to fuss over diamonds or fur coats.  It gives you back unconditional love.  Play her well, often and in good taste.  You are the envy of us all.

Quite a stunning beauty, Val!  I especially love the precision BTC on the back!

Unreal. Just spectacular. Okay, I'll stop hitting you with adjectives.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.  Also happy that a long-standing, mature company can still find the end of the envelope and push way beyond it.

Sweetest bass on the planet.  It's amazing that such an out there instrument can also be so understated.  Glad to see it finished and ready for action!

Thank you all, I can safely say in retrospect, that I got EVERYTHING right this time. No  I should have done this...
Of course working at the place helped a bit...
 
Playing it is truly a blissful experience.  
 
Now if can just send my Low B2  to Andy at Acme and get it back soon, (it got raided, pillaged & pretty much rendered useless by some pesky mice), things would be even better....  At least Andy thanked me for making him laugh, he hadn't heard that one yet...didn't someone in the club go through this?
