Lee-Man Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Hi Guy's , I'm tempted to sell my Valenti P, only cause I've ordered a new fretless. The quality of this bass is right up there with the best (as you'd expect from a former Sadowsky employee), in fact there is no real difference between the Valenti and my NYC Sadowsky. Fit and finish is excellent. Here's the spec: Swamp Ash Body Transparent Blue Finish Maple neck with Maple fretboard Satin Finish on neck Nordstrand NP4 Precision Pickup Aguilar OBP-1 preamp Controls: volume, bass, treble Hipshot HB-1 Tuning Keys Hipshot D-tuner Gotoh Quick Release Bridge Black Pearl Pickguard Black Hardware Also will come with a fitted SKB hard case. [b]Here's a couple of reviews of this very bass:[/b][u][/u] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169939&highlight=valenti+005"]<a href="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...ght=valenti+005" target="_blank">http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...ght=valenti+005[/url]</a> [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174844"]<a href="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174844" target="_blank">http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=174844[/url]</a> More info avalible from www.valentibasses.com The bass will be sold with a fresh set up and a new set of Sadowsky strings fitted. I'm looking for £750 Cheers Lee Edited November 20, 2007 by Lee-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_D Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have heard nothing but good stuff on Valenti Basses and that floor is almost infamous on TB. I wish I had the £750 to throw on it but I dont. Good luck with the sale mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 This would match my shuker really well - but unfortunately it's just a little more than I can afford to put down on it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is there anything in the rules about like for like? How close does it have to be? Could you, say, [b]IN[/b] and new bass and [b]OUT[/b] a full bag of recycled newspapers, a few wire coat hangers, an old mains lead and a few fridge magnets?? Wood, wires, magnets .. more or less the same basic ingredients ..... Worth a go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee-Man Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Oh by the way the Valenti is fitted with a VTC (vintage tone control, see Sadowsky's website for more info as it's the same as theirs) and the pre amp is an 18v system giving excellent head room.
