FT 2-for-1 Feeler Valenti #61 and NS NXT EUB

[moore.jcm]

Up for trade is the following: (I reserve the right to pull this ad if i come to my senses! )

Valenti #61 - (2008) Let me start by saying that this is definitely a great bass. I got this from Chef and between him and the other people that had it before him, it's in great shape. No noticible scratching and the spalted Maple on the top is definitely a great feature. Now although this is a great bass, it's just not for me and I don't have enough time to spend on it. I want this to go to someone that will use it. I'll throw in a gently used Road Runner case with this to ensure that it's safe through shipping.

NS NXT EUB - (2011) I got this in a trade a couple months ago thinking I would have the time to learn upright, but this one isn't getting any playing time. I've set it up a few times and played it, but it hasn't been touched in about a month. I am the second owner of this one and the first owner had this for literally a month and a half before trading it to me. He bought this new in the beginning of July (if memory serves me right) This comes with the gig bag, stand, and german bow.



As far as trades are concerned, I REALLY want to downsize my collection, so I'm hoping that someone would want both of these. Here's what basses I would be interested in, but definitely not limited to this list:

Ken Smith 5-string
MTD 5-string
Lakland 5-string
Sadowsky 5-string


Now for the pictures:

NS NXT EUB: (I dont have any current pics of this bass, but here's a stock pic for the meantime. It's literally brand new)

I'd really like to slim down my colllection. I already have a fretless that I'm on the fence about parting ways with anyway. Thanks for the offer though!

All PM's replied...

Wanted to see if there were any other takers. I might have a trade in the works...

Looking for 5'ers and am willing to add cash to the right trade!

[moore.jcm]

Weekend bump... any takers?

[moore.jcm]

These are off to sunny California.... I'll close the thread once basses have been received by both parties...

Thanks Chris!

[moore.jcm]

Closing this thread. Deal has been completed and I believe both parties are happy!
