Valenti 24F-PJ5 Bass Guitar

Valenti 24 fret PJ 5 string bass, in excellent condition. Picked this up on TB a few weeks ago hoping that the shorter scale and string spacing would let me get back into playing 5 again without affecting the basal thumb arthritis in my left hand, but after a few gigs, I've realized that my 5'er days are over for now. The bass plays great and sounds great as well. Lots of flexibility with the Nords and Sadowsky preamp and comes with the original EMG pups and Aguilar preamp (see below) for the listed purchase price or will sell w/o. From Nino's website:

V24-J5 #171
Swamp Ash Body
Trans Orange Finish
Graphite Reinforced Maple Neck
Pau Ferro fretboard
1-3/4" Nut Width
33" Scale
Nordstrand NPJ5S
Sadowksy preamp w/VTC
HipShot Vintage Bridge, 17mm
HipShot UltraLite Tuning Gears
Dunlop Straplocks
Weight: 7-3/4 Lbs. (on my digital shipping scale)
Valenti ProTech Gig Bag

The original pups were EMG PJ and the preamp was an Aguilar OBP-2 Preamp w/VTC. These are included for the purchase price, will sell separately or will knock $200 off price of bass. Nino makes great basses and I hate to sell this one except for my hand issues. I will consider trades (+/- cash) for other 4 string basses; Valenti (PJ or JJ), USA P-basses w/rosewood boards, Ric 4003S reissue (mapleglo only). PayPal accepted, shipped CONUS only.
