Sean Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Is that #005? I nearly made a play for that a while back and something came up which meant I was temporarily insolvent. Possibly the nicest P bass I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee-Man Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Glad you like it mate. Was playing with Roddy Radiation from the Specials at the weekend.......he reckons I'm mad for parting with it, I reckon he's right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Wish I'd never sold it myself but I did manage after trade aftre trade to get a Mesa Boogie 400+ for it. That was the second Valenti to come in to the UK and for a long time I had the only 3 in the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly looks like this bass on the Warmoth site: [url="http://www.warmoth.com/gallery/gallery.cfm?fuseaction=include_featured_a"]<a href="http://www.warmoth.com/gallery/gallery.cfm?fuseaction=include_featured_a" target="_blank">http://www.warmoth.com/gallery/gallery.cfm...lude_featured_a[/url]</a> His headstock is also features on the usacg site: [url="http://usacustomguitars.com/pegheads.html"]<a href="http://usacustomguitars.com/pegheads.html" target="_blank">http://usacustomguitars.com/pegheads.html[/url]</a> Edited December 5, 2007 by Jean-Luc Pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 This bass was Warmoth he moved onto USA Guitars now has everything custom made for him by Callowhill. Personally I didn't like the shape of the USA Guitars stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
