FS: Valenti J5 #041

[StrangeVision]

After mulling over this for quite a while, I've decided to put my Valenti up for sale. I just don't play bass as much as I used to and I know this bass can be put to good use by someone else.

Alder Body
Sherwood Green Metallic Finish w/Matching headstock
Maple neck w/Ebony fretboard
1 7/8" @ nut
12" Radius
Graphite Reinforced neck
Nordstrand DC5 pickups
3 way mini switch for Series/Single Coil/Parallel p/u switching
Aguilar OBP-1 preamp
Mint/Black/Mint Pickguard
Chrome Hardware
Hipshot B Style Bridge
19mm String Spacing
Hipshot Ultralites Tuners



Aside from two small dings, it is in great condition. The dings are in the following pictures:



That one is on the lower horn.



That one is on the bottom edge of the back.

I'm asking $1450 shipped to the lower 48.

Oh, wow. I remember drooling over this bass before. Super gorgeous.

Sorry, not really interested in a trade.

[BuffaloBass]

Man, I love to play that thang!

Nice looker. :^}

Tell me, those Nordstrand DCs -- do you find they sound fairly Jazz Bass-y, in single coil mode?

A small heads up: It'd be a good idea to indicate that it's a 5 string in the Subject/Header. People who are looking for a 5-string tend to scan through the boards for the numeral 5, and would be pretty likely to miss your fine offering -- I almost did.

Best of luck with it,

You can get a good jazz sound. You can make it sound pretty much however you want, really, it is quite versatile.

And thanks for the advice. That line of thinking never even occurred to me. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out how to change the thread title.

I should also add that it will ship in a TKL case.

I had this bass for awhile and it is very versatile.. This was my 1st experience with Nordy pickups and I'm a big fan..
Also my 1st introduction to Nino's basses and I was very impressed....

[Armbruster]

I know people would kill for this bass, but we just don't have the money. I'm sure somebody will come to their senses... (it's either I buy this or I don't my bills!).

[StrangeVision]

Feel free to make offers. I will certainly consider any and all.

[StrangeVision]

Still available.

[SCT1422]

This would be nice to get back, but I've been buying too much bass gear lately.. If thats possible....
It's a nice bass and I'm surprised it's still here...

[LeonD]

What's the scale length?

[StrangeVision]

If I'm not mistaken, it is 34".

[Nino Valenti]

34"
