For sale Valenti 5-string PJ

Up for sale is my beloved Valenti PJ-5, #217, in played but still excellent condition, unmodified. I hate to pass this one along, but physical challenges are steering me towards shorter scales (I’ve already pretty much given up on gigging the upright).

The versatile Aguilar controls can run active or passive, and cover a wide tonal range - anything you want, really. It will be shipped wearing either Fodera nickel or GHS Pressurewound strings - buyer’s choice. Nino makes truly fine instruments!

Here are the specs for bass #217 listed in Nino Valenti’s archive:

Alder body
Weight: 8.75 lbs.
‘59 burst finish
Graphite neck reinforcement
Amazon rosewood fretboard
Clay dot inlays
34” scale
1-7/8” nut width
Aguilar AG-5 PJ-HC pickups
Aguilar BP3 preamp with VTC
Hipshot Vintage bridge (19mm)
Hipshot Ultra-light tuners
Controls are (L-R):
Volume, Blend, Passive Tone with active/passive push/pull control (VTC), active stack-knob BT control

This will ship in the ProTec Contego bag that was its original home. $1850 including shipping to ConUS. For other destinations, shipping would be actual USD cost. No trade interest - I’ve already picked up the short-scale replacement.

Thank you for looking!
