SOLD! Buying a Valenti fire sale! I just put down my deposit on a bass from Nino, and I also got raped on my taxes, so I want to sell off all superfluous gear to finance the pay-off in the next 3-4 months. This bass is of fantastic quality, plays great and buzz-free with super-low action, but I really don't ever use a five, so this can go. The neck is sturdy and comfortable. The B is clear, defined, and powerful. There are a few scratches in the clear coat (a small one on the face, the rest are on the back, all were there when I bought the bass) that really don't show up in the pictures. Also, when I bought the bass (used), the pickup adjustment screws were in various states of head-mutilation. I got out the worst offender (had to file a new slot to get it out, it was so mangled, and put a scratch on the pickup cover in the process), but never replaced them, due to lack of necessity (like I said, I really don't ever play a five). Sorry.
