  14. Asian BUMP - hope somebody might snap this up at the Bash (if Ped can still make it - best wishes on your speedy recovery, Chris!) if not before.
  15. Thanks Ped - nice summary of the bass (currently) and its history + some nice photos - hopefully, this might find a new owner whilst I'm away: would have been a nice & unique fiver to keep, but not possible. I'll try to find photos of the original bass and post them asap. Should add, for those that might wonder, that the original idea was to replace the broken truss-rod, but the thru-neck was also warped and the only remedy was to replace with a bolt-on. There was a lot of work to be done: the original finish was tricky to remove/balance and the neck re-fit involved a lot of additional/one-off routing (including accomodating the J-pickup into the extended Marleaux neck) - I think the photos reveal what an excellent job they made of this! Some specs: 34.5" scale (with zero-fret), 1.75" Nut, string spacing is 9mm (Nut), 16mm (24th fret) & 19mm (bridge). I forgot to note the weight but recall that it's very light at 8.25 - 8.5 lbs.
  16. last Bump, for a while...
  17. Wenge is the 'way-to-go' ... believe me (...LOL !!). I'd agree with the more constructive comments above re. the wood/sound nature (and certainly would never disagree with MTobias !) - but just wanted to add that the Wenge on the Valenti is a closer grained variety than I've seen on many Warwicks and is nice & smooth (much faster than a finished neck.. not as fast as a 60/70's vintage / worn maple!). Also, if A-D's pickup(s) - influence is correct, which I'm sure it is to some degree, then the Valenti's layout: 1-Volume w/p/p for preamp bypass 2-Blend 3-Treble w/p/p for Neck position P/U for Humbucker mode to Single Coil mode 4-Mids with w/p/p for Mid Shift 5-Bass w/p/p for Bridge position P/U for Humbucker mode to Single Coil mode .. does help counter the woods/pickups dichotomy. Hope this helps (.. without prejudice)
  18. Based my Vote on the ones you listed to avoid clouding or complicating the issue. I would go for the Marleaux - I've used their basses for years and have always found them to be exceptional in terms of build quality, feel and sound. Small Company,so they have excellent follow-up (although virtually nothing has gone wrong with them). Is the photo model still available - I thought this was something produced only for a short time which had been dropped (.. although they would probably build one if you really wanted it).
