Bass of the Week: Valenti Basses T21-P4
Luthier Nino Valenti recently shared one of his builds in the No Treble Facebook group, and it got a lot of attention. Valenti’s T21-P4 is his take on the timeless P-bass style. It features a traditional full-sized P body with a rounder 1/2-inch body edge radius.
“This T21-P4 has an alder body, rosewood fretboard, Hipshot USA hardware, Nordstrand NP4 pickup, and 2B preamp with passive tone (aka VTC),” Valenti wrote.
