cgordonfreeman Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Up for trade is my Valenti #11 5 stringer i bought from tayste some time last year. Looking for a nice guitar for it or maybe a bass. I'm in ireland by the way. Alder P style Body Pau Ferro Fretboard Sherwood Green Finish w/Matching H/S Nordstrand Dual Coil pickups 24 Frets, 19mm string spacing Black Hardware HipShot B style bridge UltraLite tuning gears Humbucker/Single coil mode for each pickup Tortoise P/G Aguilar OBP-1 (bass/treble boost only) Contoured heel for easier access to the upper frets Very good condition, just a small chip on the back that only goes through the top coat of paint (not through to wood) and a bit of rust on the saddle screws on the bridge. Not a very light bass but not too heavy either. I'd estimate maybe 10lbs. Comes with a Stagg soft hardcase. Might take trades on another nice 5-string or maybe even a nice guitar, try me. Cheers, John. Edited August 27, 2009 by cgordonfreeman
cgordonfreeman Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 Surely someone has something they'd like to trade for this? Come on people, try me!
Bigwan Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Dammit! I've wanted a crack at this bass since it first appeared on Talkbass years ago! We're even on the same island! Haven't anything I want to trade at the mo. though, other than maybe my Tech 4x12. Good luck anyway! Edited July 21, 2009 by Bigwan

Valenti still available!
silverfoxnik Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Looks like a great bass with excellent electronics! Looking at the Talkbass forums, Valenti has a pretty good reputation too.. But what does it actually sound like?

You can add a huge amount of low end or top end sheen with the Aguilar or you can just go passive by pulling the volume pot. You can get an approximation of a P-bass too by messing around with the coil taps. All in all, it's quite versatile but I've a Bongo 5HH and a Carvin 5er. Any interest? Cheers, John.

I've always fancied a Valenti to be honest, more than a Sadowsky for example, and this is only the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) 5 string I've seen on Basschat which makes it quite unique! However, having just upgraded my rig, I can't spend money on more basses and the only two 5 string basses I have are both Jazzes, so that kind of rules me out of the equation when it comes to trades.. So best I can do is say 'lovely bass' and give you a free BUMP!

molan Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Fancy an early Patrick Eggle LA Pro from when they were fitted with Seymour Duncan pickups (2 x single coil APS2's & a Jeff Beck Humbucker at the bridge if I remember correctly). It's currently out on loan to my lead guitarist but is very similar to this stock shot pic: Mine is more or less the same tobacco sunburst finish but with less flame on the body - beautiful birdseye maple neck though. Also comes with a nice dark green Eggle branded Hiscox case. Edited July 24, 2009 by molan
