Details

Hey all,

Well, I mentioned a in few threads a while ago, that my wife and I were going into full-on house buying mode. We decided to build instead of buy, so we put our condo on the market with the expectation that it would take a few weeks to sell, a few more weeks to close, and a bit more time for the new owners to move in. We sold it in 8 hours to a cash buyer who wanted possession ASAP...:nailbiting::facepalm::banghead:

So as awesome as that was, it created a whole new set of problems, not the least of which was finding a place to live while our house is being built. We have a whole new list of expenses and needs that we need to take care of. So, with that said, I'm putting up one of my lovely Valenti S24FJ5s(I have 3 of them!) to try to offset some of the expenses. The one I'm letting go is a stunning example of Nino's work. I'm using some of Tyler's(lowendmafia)pics because they are better than mine, and some recent shots I took.

Specs for Valenti #197(I have 207 & 208)
-S24FJ5
-Northern Ash body
-Ziricote top(Natural finish)
-Wenge Neck(Graphite reinforced)
-Wenge Fretboard
-34" Scale
-18mm Spacing
-Nordstrand Big Singles
-Nordstrand 3B Preamp
-Hipshot A-bridge(black)
-Hipshot Ultralites(black)
-8.75lbs
-it has a killer Ziricote ramp that feels awesome!
-also comes with a Valenti-embroidered ProTec Contego gigbag.

My other two Valenti's are almost identical to this one! I love this bass, but duty calls...

I did gig this bass, and I loved every second of it! If you're in the market for a Sadowsky, a Lull, a Nordstrand, or you just want a high-end, modern, Jazz-style, you need to do yourself a favor and get in on some Valenti Mojo...:thumbsup::D

Sale price is $2,000 OBO!!

PayPal is great. Because of the situation, I'm not interested in any trades. Thanks for checking it out...

Man, that is SOOOOO tempting! I love Nino's basses, and my wife already has a killer Valenti 5-string (I have already owned at least five or six Valenti basses).

This bass was built for me and its a pretty unique Valenti. I believe at the time I ordered it it was only the 2nd Valenti ever to have a wenge neck and fretboard. Wenge is a very even neck wood, so when paired with a northern ash body, the bass dials in all the really great jazz bass tones without any of the overkill highs and clackiness that can be associated with jazz basses over the years. Also, the nordy 3 band preamp is one of the best on the market, much more usable and musical than some of the other 3 bands out there.

Ok,

Even though this move/build thing is stressing me out and we could really use the cash, I have one, very specific, trade possibility; if you have a Fractal Audio Axe FX II or an AX-8, hit me up. We can work something out...

Thanks!

Found out the AX-8 won't do what I want it to do, so if you have a newer Axe FXII or a Line 6 Helix, hit me up...
