Valenti #42

[funkyspuke]

I'd like to dedicate this post to the much traveled Valenti #42 (in candy apple red).

I was owner 434/1208. Having read some of the latest posts in the for sale forum, I fear for its soul parts pulled out and discarded, replaced with god knows what

So, I open this topic for people to share their memories of this amazing bass and maybe even for the current owner to come forward.

Thanks

What a nonsense. If you feared for it, why didn't you buy it?

Good grief.

I haven't been on basschat for years .. I sold it on probably a year before then.

I thought I'd add some humour to what is essentially a request for an update on the bass.

Maybe you need a nap?

Three times he's had it. How many times he's owned the bass I'm not sure.

As an aside, that Valenti headstock always struck me as a bit of a shocker. Looks like a dog took a bite out of it.

[geoffbyrne]

In that case, he once let me play it at The Old Volunteer Open Mic at Carlton, Nottingham. So I'm sad if it has deceased. And yes, I've seen better headstocks.
