Didn’t Nick Smith @doctor_of_the_bass have a hand in these?

Hi guys!

Happy new year! This is Nick doing a quick reply! Yes, this is an E Basses Valiant 5 string bass, I was the co-designer and came up with the name! Ian Hancock did all the hard work in terms of the actual build and sadly he stopped making basses a few years ago but has mentioned that he might start making some new basses at some point, sadly I won't be involved as am now working with Grainger Guitars of Rutland on two brand new bass models!

Cheers! Nick
