FS: Valenti #079 - Incredible Redwood Top!!!

AJ Brown · #1 09-14-2009, 09:56 AM

Due to unforseen house repair and pet bills, this one is back on the block

This has got to be the most stunning Valenti I have ever seen or played (and I've played a LOT). I received this in a trade a few months ago and had Nino give her the once-over, including a clear guard, fret work, and a setup. This thing plays like buttah!

Alder Body w/Quilted Redwood top
Natural Finish
Graphite reinforced Wenge Neck
Wenge fretboard
1 1/2" @ Nut

dang... my heart just stopped... trades?

AJ Brown · #7 09-14-2009, 10:56 AM

I guess I'll listen to trade offers, but a major portion of it has to be cash. If I didn't need the cash, I'd definitely be keeping it.

Wow, AJ... those looks, that price, a Sadowsky preamp and Nordstrand big singles... I'm sorry you have to let go of this.

I LOVED that clip by the way. Great playing and great sound. Nice to see the TC in action too.

When you step on a pedal before the bridge, is that the TC pedal controlling the head? What change did you engage if I may ask.

Hey Tom. Do you mean before the solo? I use a VT Bass for some extra sparkle.

Andy, say it ain't so!

AJ Brown · #12 09-15-2009, 04:12 PM

Tell you what... I will give this bass away to the first person to send me $1,800 via Paypal!

BartmanPDX · #13 09-15-2009, 06:35 PM

Yeah, there. So that's a Tech 21 VT Bass SansAmp Character Series Bass Pedal? Sounds great but rats, I was hoping you were just flipping to a different preset on the TC RH450.

I might have been able to duplicate it using a separate channel using EQ and the TubeTone, but I had the other two memory slots set up for other basses.
