The Valentino II is based on an Essance.It has omega cuts on the sides and a nobby headstock. Val's has a cocobolo top and an ash body.I'm not sure the thread, but it was built around '02.

Peter; B/M/T quick-change switches X2

Why not: B/LM/M/HM/T 5-way boost/cut (+9/+6/0/-6/-9) switches X2

wishbass · « **Reply #28 on:** January 16, 2012, 04:45:51 PM »

Now I know I'm a newbie, that read like Greek to me....but I'm sure it's very cool.(translation for the uneducated please)

David Houck · « **Reply #29 on:** January 16, 2012, 05:07:23 PM »

Karl; Europa electronics come with bass and treble boost/cut switches. Each three way switch provides 6db boost, flat, and 6db cut. Peter wants to add a mid switch as well as the bass and treble switches, plus he wants a set of switches for the neck pickup and one set for the bridge pickup. So I've suggested that in addition to bass, mid and treble, he also add a low-mid and a high-mid switch; and that instead of three positions, he get five way switches with 9db boost, 6db boost, flat, 6db cut, and 9db cut.

I'm not seriously suggesting such a mod, just having fun riffing on his idea.
