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.

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

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.

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.

Cheers for the words guy's. Just been playing this on a session at work, not sure I should sell it, but we now operate a strict one in one out rule at home :)

Oh that's nice ... famous too ..

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 ?
:huh:

It [b]IS[/b] a nice floor, may have looked better with a nitro finish IMHO :)

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.
