zapp Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) This isn't getting played as I'm now concentrating on guitar so it's time to move it on. I could wax lyrical about the quality and playability of this instrument but Valenti Basses are well known for both. The Bass is in very, very good condition and has the advantage of being both active and passive. Nordstrand pups and an Aguila OB1 pre (I think) give access to just about any jazz tone you could want. It comes with a very nice soft/hard case. Any trial is welcome. £700.

zapp Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hi Flippy, no it doesn't mate but Nino (Valenti) did pm me saying that it is possible with the same control layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zapp Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) thx Luke JBF, the case is a Hard/soft really good quality made by TKL. This is the nearest example I could find. http://www.tkl.com/site_item_details.php?pn=TKL%206136&descx=TKL+Zero-Gravity+J/P+Bass+Guitar+Case Edited July 16, 2014 by zapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly it has some kind of voltage multiplier in the battery connect lead that means the preamp runs at 18v. It's a great bass - i love the pickups, and just the feel of the neck. I bought it and another jazz at the same time.... and ended up selling them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
